Hey lads, I was just wondering what would be a good way, ideally free, to record my screen and the output of my asio sound card, so I can make some session videos. My searching on the subject has been inconclusive, and the freeware one I found is unable to record from asio apparently. Any input on the matter would be appreciated, cheers

Spencer,
 
There is a previous discussion about screen capture software..

I'm using Corel VideoStudio with good results, but it's mainly for webcam recording / video editing, although it can do screen capture as well (tried with ASIO and is fine). The latest version is X6 .. !! :)
 
..with more recommendations within as well..

ah that's the thread I remembered but couldn't seem to find, thanks. now if only camstudio would work with my soundcard :( . gonna look at the other options.

I use Sony Vegas Studio. It has options to edit the sound tracks and video tracks, and insert Text and screen effects. Sony also has some freeware out there maybe named Picture Motion Browser, that lets you do some editing, and change formats.
 
I have found working in Sonar I use AVI, and in Vegas Studio I use WMV types.
When I imported a video sound track to Vegas as a Quick Time vid, it had no sound track. Format Factory is a free dl converting system. The WMV is probably the most compressed and common to save them as for media play. However sites such as You Tube will accept any format and change it as needed.
