I'd like to know if there is a way to capture Predator Virtual CNC simulation in frames or AVI, or Mpeg, Gif etc.
I'd also be interested in other CNC simulation software that could do it.
Thanks

Check out this link for demo software for video capture from your PC screen: www.techsmith.com (http://www.techsmith.com)
That should work.
Thanks Paul

I have used hypercam http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp
to capture simulations in the past, works pretty well and is real easy to use. I bleoeve that Lotus has a screen cam product as well.
Here is a sample I captured with the demo hypercam: http://www.grifftek.com/dolphincadcam/avi/clip0017.avi
Maybe we shoudl contact predator, maybe they would add this feature to their software.
Bill,
Thanks for letting me in on this option. Your avi was loaded nicely. I'm suprised it was only .36 MegByte large (being an AVI). I can't believe predator doesn't have this option. It seems it would be an easy thing for thier software folks to integrate into thier packages. Oh well...
Thanks
Tony
