How to record my desktop with audio?

[benboy52]

Hi all!

I want to basically make a movie to show people how to navigate certain internet sites. I want to do this by literally recording my whole desktop while surfing(Screen area) in about a 3 minute movie. I also want to add audio to it, so I can speak people through where to click etc...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ben

Probably not really what you're after, but something like Windows movie maker/Magix Photos on DVD for example would allow you to make a movie and add your own soundtrack,this would be a string of individual screenshots, however as opposed to one continuous movie- Most photo programmes have some Screen capture associated with them - you can then alter the photos to include mouse pointers etc.and use some of the functions to make it appear to be a moving show?for the sound you could presumably add the audio track with sound recorder. - basic admittedly but ... :-)

Good luck

Adobe Captivate or Camtasia Studio is what you're after.
