Thanks, Richard, I appreciate it.

Any guess if I would have any trouble capturing video and the analog
audio using Camtasia on a 2.8 pc with 1 gig of memory?

Camtasia seems the better way of doing this, though we've had good
luck shooting lcd screens. And Camtasia is more expensive than I had
anticipated.

Thanks again.
