Im looking into getting vega but in addition to using it with my camcorder I was wondering if it had the ability to do screen captres on the PC? I want to make some presentations on the use of some software I am deeloping and would like to capture mouse and screen to a file o I can put it on DVD as a demo/tutorial.

You'll need a dedicated screen capture/demo recording program like TechSmith Camtasia to do that. You can then bring the files generated by Camtasia into Vegas for editing.

CamStudio's free app will make it too

Thanks for the input guys. Ive tied snagit and it seems pretty resource intensive. Have you tried any hardware options? Perhaps something I could plug my camcorder into to capture the video cards output? Then I could use vegas to bring it back into PC and liven it up etc.

Look at this scanner, quality of dv capture is VHS at best . http://www.adstech.com/products/TVEliteXGA/intro/XGA128intro.asp?pid=XGA-128 Good Luck John

You may not need all of this functionality but it looks like it would be great for someone building a new PC.

I used camtasia, for a project and it came out fine.
