I want to make videos where you "capture the screen" (Is that the term?). Could you possibly help me?

I have Windows 2000 - and I can't find any video making program (for cheap/free) that works. Can you recommend something?

[freetutorials]

Well, there are many programs that will do that. I use Camtasia Studio -- not sure how much it costs now, but I think it's great. There are some that take screen-shots (not video) that you can use as well.

You want to know how to make screen-capture videos? I use Camtasia Studio.  I might be able to do a tutorial of Camtasia if you would like.

This is so cool! =D

[freetutorials]

Thank you!

[2Krome]

I'm gonna try it.

[freetutorials]

Good! Let me know if you need any help getting started. If you want to send me some of your "roadblocks" when you get going, I will do what I can.

[LEBThe3]

Meh. This is really crappy. Not the tutorial but the software your using. I prefer using MyHeritage,com

[TolsmaLMC]

Are there any free programs out there?

[criskity]

Of course, the genealogy in the Bible is mythology.

Lots of helpful info. Unfortunately, I don't have my grandparents anymore so I can't ask them anything. I'm now relying on aunts, uncles, cousins of my parents and their kids (whom I never met face to face).

It would be important to "Family Tree Maker" I was in Spanish because we are 400 million who speak Spanish or else there will be no choice but to go to the "MyHeritage" this if it is in Spanish.

I beg you please translate it into Spanish to thank for his program much more like us

carefully
