Is there a screen video capture shareware for Mac OS 9?
June 6, 2007 3:29 AM   Subscribe

I am looking for software (that preferably doesn't cost anything) to record some screen movies on Mac OS 9 platform. I know Mac OS 9 was used just after the second ice age, however, we still use it in our lab and I am trying to find a way to record a visual stimulus (something cute that is moving on the screen) as a quicktime or avi (or whatever easy to convert) file to use it in a presentation on Mac OS X. I am looking for something similar to Snapz Pro for Mac OS 9.

I am not really optimistic about this, but I thought I give it a try.

Otherwise, my plan-B will be to take a video camera and make a flickering film of poor quality and with some background coughing.

Thanks in advance!

How about Snapz Pro for Mac OS 9? (The purchase link on that page is broken, so try here instead.)

Key with Plan B is to use an LCD screen - flicker problem gone.

Alternatively, some (more expensive) video cameras have a scan setting to permit sync with tv monitors/computer monitors.

Last, could you set up an OSX box (where the screen recorders exist) and run OS9 inside of it?
