Video capture screensavers

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Does anyone know of a way to capture a screensaver (.scr file) or
directly from the desktop. I have a real good fish tank screensaver
and would like to burn it as a DVD and put it on my TV.

I have looked for the screensavers for TV's but haven't found any good
ones yet.

Thanks,
John

To run it continuously on your TV you need to 'loop' the video. For that
you need a DVD authoring progam.

Before you get that far the only way I can think of to capture that is
with a capture card and a loop between it and the video card. Or if you
only have a video out card, just hook it to the TV directly. You can
probably find stock footage of a real fish tank to use also.

At first the TV out sounded like a winner, and I do have plenty of DVD
authoring programs including Roxio,Adobe premiere, Ulead and Nero just
to name a few that I have tried. My video card is my capture card and
tv out.

My problem is how to tell the software to record the desktop. All the
programs want an .avi, mpg, etc to copy or export. I have tried
several screensaver programs but they all save files as a slide show
type ss.

I am looking at my tv manual as it appears that I may have an input
for my computer. I could then just turn it on the tv and record it on
a dvd, maybe?

If you have a DVD recorder at home, yes. But most don't.

Lets assume you have a TV out on the video card of your PC (SVHS),
plug in your DV camera and record the screensaver onto DV tape. (Or
play Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 and capture some amazing maneuvers....
whatever you prefer to watch...)

Now transfer the DV recording onto your PC, convert to MPEG2 and
author it as a DVD.

From what you are saying the video out records what ever is on the
desktop such as Flight Sim or in my case the screensaver and if so
then I should be able to feed it into my DVD recorder from the tv. I
will try this over the weekend and let you know if it works.

Thanks,
John

Use a screen recorder like Camtasia to capture the video
