I'd like to create a DVD showing how to do certain steps of a program on a computer.

My only stumbling block is how to capture the computer's program to an avi file.

Do I use some kind of conversion box from SVGA card to my camera's SVideo input of my camera?

This is challenging for me so any advice would help.

Thanks in advance!

A lot of my clients use something called Camtasia.

CamStudio is freeware and does the job well. Available on many download sites.

Jaime:

Camtasia is the standard for where I work. I believe there's a 30-day trail that you can use.

Also, take a look at Hypercam which is an inexpensive substitute (I believe it's around $30 USD for a license instead of $200+ USD for a full version of Camtasia Studio).
