Re: Recording from Media Player

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If the sample you want to record is less than 60 seconds you can use the
Sound Recorder app that is part of the XP install.
You will want to select the 'WAV' device for recording.

I just tried it with a video file from the web (of course only recorded the
sound this way) and worked fine.

Thanks for the information, Mike. I'll look into that product. I presume,
since you recommended it, that you consider it to be the best one. I
don't
want to sound cheap (... "broke" is more accurate), but can you recommend
an
add-in or stand alone program that is free?

In any case, thanks. It looks like this will solve the problem.

I will be giving a lecture and would like to incorporate into my
powerpoint
presentation a audio clip from a newscast that is available online. At
the
site, there is a button that says "listen" and when I click on it, the
recording plays on the Windows Media Player (I have the newest version,
#11).
I can listen to this, but I'd like to record portions of the newscast
on my
PC and drop a segment into my presentation. The portions I'd like to
comment
are statements that are part of the public record and, though I'm not
an
expert, I'm quite sure that I wouldn't be violating any copyrights.
However,
I don't see any way for me to record the audio that is playing. Can it
be
done? If there is not straightforward way of doing this within Media
Player,
is there another way? Finally, do you know, how I could incorporate
the
recording from the Media Player to the Powerpoint presentation? Thanks
very
much.
