Recording online seminars

I would like to record an online seminar for revision on my PC.

I tried the Quick Screen Recorder but it is unable to record the sound from the system.

I need to use an external microphone for this but then it also picks up other noises in the room. Please help.

Download this free software: http://www.nbxsoft.com/soundrecorder. php and you can record anything that plays sound on your PC, including YouTube.

In order to record TV programmes, you need an additional accessory to record the video and audio.

An example is the Dazzle Video Creator Plus product from Pinnacle Systems (http://www.pinnaclesys.com).

You need to ensure that you have a PC with at least a 2.4GHz CPU running Windows XP or Vista, 1GB of available hard disk space and a spare USB 2.0 port.
