if you only need it once or twice and don't want to spend $70. we're at studentfilmmakersforums.com so I'm guessing most everyone here are students. I don't know about you, but I don't have 70 bucks lying around whenever I need to accomplish a simple task

another option, if you have a powerbook/macbook pro and a camera or deck that has video input, is to just run out a mirrored image of your display and capture it on a digital tape. then send it back into you computer. you can then cut out what section of the screen you want
