Video capture. - How do you do it?

[HAMSTER INSPECTOR]

I would like to capture video I see on the internet on to my computer. I have found a few free trial programs on the internet but there is no sound. Is there a free program I can capture video with? ( with sound ) I have a fairly new HP computer that is less than one year old I am running vista. I was also wondering if I already have the capability to capture video already?

You can get wmrecorder or the latest realplayer version which has a 'record video' option: http://www.real.com/

what kind of video? flash? avi?

I am looking for a screen recorder to copy video I see on the internet. I am also looking for a program to copy my old VHS tapes to my computer to make a DVD, but I do not know if this is possible since VHS is analog.

Sounds like you dont have the audio right codecs. You can find those for free if you google 'codecs', but be careful which website you dl from, some of them like to install spyware. Use www.download.com or softpedia.com, they are 100% safe
