| Recording Audio and Video |
You can record audio and video from any existing capture profile including sound, web cam, TV tuner, the screen or a window or region of the screen.
So, first you need to have a capture profile selected and active. Learn about 'Capture Profiles'.
Audio sources and video sources can be recorded uncompressed or using compression. Learn how to use compression and create AVI, WMV, WAV, WMA and MP3 files. You can change compression and other settings opening the 'Record Settings' dialog.
About audio: On-line music, talk shows, voice, external cassette player, or any other audio you can hear can be recorded directly into uncompressed WAV, compressed WAV, WMA, and MP3. Learn more about recording what you hear. Still on the subject of recording audio you may want to know how you can disable Windows system sounds, so that you don't find mouse clicks and other system sounds on your recordings.
About videos recorded from the screen: Videos inside web browsers and videos inside media players are actually recorded directly from the screen. Learn how to capture and record directly from the screen. If you are recording the 'Desktop' whether it's the full desktop or a window inside a browser like a YouTube video for example or a video inside Windows Media Player you can change the window, region, and frame rate very rapidly by clicking on the 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' button on the Main Toolbar.
About videos recorded from the TV tuner and external devices: Video capture boards such as TV tuner capture boards generally have on their back either an S-Video entry, or a Composite-Video entry, or both.

Learn more about connecting external video devices.
