2) you need a program to record it, don't know one.

Then you'll have to locate video match, your best bet is to find it on google or use kazaa or any gnutella client (2 diff servers) to locate anything, the codecs you should be able to find just on google, but the Divx5 you'll have to get on kazaa since its not exactly freeware... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 10 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 10 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 10 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 10 | what about using adobe premiere?
that should be alright just that, or do i need the codecs aswell? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 143 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 143 | no, adobe premiere is a waste for something this simple. i recommend VirtualDub or VD for short  . its very simple to use, all it has is video capture and compression. i always use the DivX 4 fast motion codec and compression at 600=900kbps 100% sharp and keyframes every 3-10 seconds produces relativly small, near dvd quality output. | | |
