Does anyone know if there is anyway to record what is on my computer screen in video format for a period of about 5 minutes or so - like a kind of continuous video screenshot thing, if that makes sense.
Any windows software or freeware.

Also is it possible to edit the files produced by windows sound recorder. The ones i record at the moment are very low quality because i basically plug the headphone cable into the microphone jack, and i wondered if changing the options would help.

point your camera phone at it

Actually no. Although that is a good idea...

I'm having trouble instaling a patch for Pro Evo, and i was going to take a video to send and see if anyone could see what I was doing wrong.

I'm fairly sure there is some screen capture freeware that can capture video (but I don't know what the quality is like).

I don't really understand your question about the audio.
The editing software won't improve your method of recording - you should use 'line in' really, but you might need a good soundcard for that option.
Headphone-to-mic recording needn't be poor quality: if you have good components and only make one generation of recording.

Audacity is a good freeware audio editor.

I'm not sure why you need to "video" your screen. I don't know how many people would download a video file to see if they can help.

Pressing 'PrtScr' should provide you with a bitmap screen cap.
I would think a sequence of them would be more useful.
IIrc ImageM8 is a freeware clipboard utilty that will allow multiple PrtScr captures.
The Gimp is probably the best freeware image editor for sorting your screen caps out.
