Hi,
I don't know where you can find "usable" avi, but I have seen software
called "Cameraman" that "enables you to make simultaneous recordings of
screen activity, system sounds and voice-overs. It
captures all action that takes place on your screen including; pull-down
menus, dialogue boxes, still screens and animations, video, and game
sequences. With smooth, full-screen recording,
panning, or follow-the-cursor mode, screen recordings can be
saved as AVI movies or bitmaps (Windows version) or QuickTime files
(Macintosh version) ." It's pretty cool stuff and costs about $100. The
company is called Motion Works International.
