Looking for a capture device that can capture EVERYTHING on my computer screen.

[Jeff Ingram]

Hello,

Looking for a capture device that can capture EVERYTHING on my computer
screen. Currently I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT video card and it can output
video to a VCR via a composite cable, but to do that I have to switch the
display mode and nothing can be seen on the monitor. With this card you
can't (at least I've yet to find a way) to both output to my VCR AND view
the monitor. I need something that can output video on both.

Preferably I'd like to find something that's relatively inexpensive (no more
than $150)

Might anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff

with no
extra hardware AND is free
