Screen and video capture tool!

Howdy again from Southern New Mexico,
The other day I needed to down load a video and convert it into a .wmv format for posting on a client web site. Needless to say things got a bit tricky I had a free problems. A while back I was watching Tekzilla and they gave some great little tools for just that. Unfortunately I am broke so spending money was not really an option. So I stumbled across a little tool called Freez Screen Capture. This guy is just awesome with a lot of different setting for quality and codec choices. I highly recommend this little app and best of all its FREE. There is also a slew of different apps that the parent company Small Video Soft makes that I am dying to try. Things like IPOD video converters DVD rippers and all sorts of other cool toys. If you all need to rip a video from the net that is not your standard .flv file or something like that this is a great little tool. I know a lot of people out there will tell you to grab Real Players which lets you down load just about any video, but I would really not go that route. All videos are stored as .IVR files that dont help alot since, from everything I have read, there is not a smooth way to convert IVRs to anything useful. If you do have Real Player though, grab a video display it on your machine and copy it with Freez screens capture. Its fast easy and a great little tool. All these products can be found at http://www.smallvideosoft.com/. Hope you all enjoy.
Cheers,
