Re: how can I capture desktop

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

This seems to be the only option I have with encoder. It has put me a few
steps closer to what I need, but I can't get the file into Final Cut Pro. FCP
will import many types of movie files, but not wmv! I can't even get the WMV
files to play on the Mac useing the Mac version of Windows Media Player. I
tried VLC from your web site, but it gives an error as well. Is there a way I
can output the PC version of the WMV to an AVI? I think I can make that work.
