-screencast (screen recorder; screenrecorder; screen cast) program
-https://obsproject.com/
-this one seems to be the best; it is completely free, records video, system audio, and audio from a microphone.
-first discovered from Pat Coan 3-6-15

-how to record a movie with open broadcaster
-just connect dvd player to computer with a video capture device such as [Diamond One Touch Video Capture 05-03-2014d1534]
-instead of using the software that came with the device you could use openbroadcaster.  I found I have fewer issues with sound and audio when using open broadcaster
--on my hp desktop you probably need to restart the computer and do the recording fresh to avoid problems
--before using open broadcaster the 1st time, you will need to make sure that you have the proper driver for the video capture device installed.
---If using this with the easy grabber device, you need to install the driver before the first time

-when using open broadcaster right click the source area and set the source to be video capture.  In the properties set the device to be Conexant Polaris Video Capture; for the audio input device select "Use device audio" and make sure "Output to audio stream only" is selected.  Then start the recording.  The output file will probably be a flv file.
--If the video is not filling the record area properly, then right click the video source (you can do this while it is playing), hover over position/size, and select fit to screen size.
-you can convert the flv file to an mp4 file using some free software
--you could use "Free FLV to MP4 Converter" downloaded from download.com or something
--you could also use "FLV extract", but this was giving me some trouble.
-you can clip the final video to remove extra stuff at the end and the beginning using Windows Movie Maker (free)
--Note that I like to have about 10 seconds of the dvd menu after the movie credits just so I have a record of what the menu was like.
-You can save the file in large and small file size formats to be used in different situations (with phone or computer)
