Video capture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Video capture usually refers to the various methods of capturing video on a computer. It can refer to capturing video from an outside source, such as a TV signal, or it can refer to capturing what is displayed on the computer screen.
Capturing video from an outside source requires special hardware – Video capture card.
Capturing video of what is displayed on the computer screen requires special software. None of the major operating systems have built-in mechanisms to record videos of the screen (recording how the user moves his mouse around, clicks icons, types text etc. as a movie). A multitude of utilities have come up to fill this void, though. See also: Screencast.
