Hi All-
I want to record a tour of a neighborhood on Google Earth--actually, it's a fly-by of a "path" that I have laid out. I know Google Earth Pro lets you record movies, but I can't afford the $400 for a subscription...especially for a one-time clip of about 30 seconds long (it's for a home video for my parents...)
I've tried a few freeware screen capture apps (Camtasia and Camstudio) and the results have been poor--very low framerates, jumpy and slow. Not at all usable...
I guess that I could film the screen with my PDX-10, but I'm sure it will pick up the scan lines on my CRT. I don't have an LCD (I'm assuming that if I had one I could get away with it, right?) Borrow a laptop, maybe?
Can anyone think of a way to do this? Is there another video screen capture app that you could recommend from experience?
Thanks!
