My 7 year old son is making a video CD for a school project that has
to be viewable on his school's computer (a fairly recent PC). Because
he wants to include a "really neat" presentation of an aerial
fly-over of our town, I bought a software program called Keyhole 2 LT.
(The presentation actually is really neat!) The Keyhole software,
though, doesn't save the presentation as an MPG, AVI, or
any other standard video format. Here, then, is the question:
How do we capture the presentation we see on our computer's screen
into a format that we can edit on the computer?
I tried SnagIt capture software, but it looks horrible. Can we somehow
connect our computer to a camcorder to capture the presentation, and
then input it back into the computer for editing? (Our computer is a
Compaq/HP Presario 2500 with 2.60GHz Celeron; 1GB RAM; Radeon IGP 345M
Video Card; DVD/CD-RW combo; FireWire, USB and S-VHS outputs.)
Thank you!!!

Maybe I've given too much information! I simply need to know how to
record what's on my computer's screen onto a digital or analog
camcorder.
