Hello folks ,

On YouTube there are lots of videos on computing...many of them are pretty good to learn sth...
Now i am wondering what kind of programmes the people use, obviously they dont point their cams at their screens, right?
It is not screen capture programmes as those are only used for screenshots (stills), correct?
I already tried the snipping tool that comes with Vista - easy peasy.
In these videos you see things being done while being explained, so the programmes the people use are of what genre, video capture? Is there a more specific name for these programmes? And are there free downloadable versions?

Thanks in advance.

Quick Media Converter has Cam Studio built into it.

Then there is the stand alone CamStudio

Hypercam is what i use when i know im going to need to record high fps, but small everyday tutorials like explaining how to change a certain theme? then camstudio will do the job.

if you mean capture the screen video when it is played then the best program I have found for that is Cam studio. Google it.
if you just want to take a snapshot then no software needed, just press PrintScreen button and it will take a copy of your screen
then paste into paint or whatever
