Anyone know how to made a video off the monitor?

[prox]

In theory, I'd like to make commentary videos wth my real time charts on the monitor and talk into a microphone , then save it as a movie format and burn it on a CD-R. Sorta like letting people watch me day trade without probing eyes in my back. Any idea what software or hardware I'd need ?

Don't know how to do it personally, but here is a link of someone who has done just what you want:

I'm sure the site owner will tell you how he did it. Hope this helps.

Hello prox,
A number of the computer based training programs I've used were made with Lotus Screen Cam. You can try a 15 day free trial at this link:

Try Microsoft Media Encoder 7?, only M$ video format WMV available though. Download it at www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer

Better have a fast machine to do this kind of work.
