Re: how can I capture desktop

Hey Papa John...one problem I am have is when I take the file over to the Mac
as a .wmv and use the Mac version of Windows Media Player, I get an error
stateing: The Channel does not support the stream format. It will play back
fine on the PC and what I really need to do is save it to an AVI before I
take it to the Mac. It seems I am limited to save it as an AVI when I do a
screan capture when useing encoder and this might be the reason for the error
on the Mac in Windows Media Player. Any ideas?
