    Does anyone know of a program out there that I can record a little part of whatever I am watching. I just want to record like a scene from like a DVD or some of my home movies. I have tried CapturePad and My Screen Recorder and so far none of them have worked.

    It's because the video is an overlay image. You need something that will capture a video overlay. Some DVD software programs allow you to capture bits of the video, so you might want to check into these types of players.

    I have seen Camtaisa used at work, but don't know if it'll capture video overlay.

    I did a search in Google and came up with a link with a list of programs that may help. I have never used anyof these apps, so I don't know if they work.
