Jessica,
To tape anything on a computer, you either have
thousands of dollars of other hardware, or just use
your video card on your computer. Some, but not all
video cards have composite/S-Video out. To get
your audio, you will need probably an adapter for
your an audio out composite.
But the cable modem is the thing. If you want good
video quality to see Dean Kamen, than you need to
be streaming at 500 kilbits a second minimum. 1
megabyte per second is really good, but usually
very rare to see that.
After that either QuickTime or Real Player will have
the option for full-screen play. However I would
recommend QuickTime, because it is better on
video quality. But whatever player you play it, make
sure that it your streaming from the application, not
from the web browser. Than simply, just activate
that and when it starts, just hit record on your VCR
Oh by the way, if you get this annoying cropping
effect on your TV, than size down your video to
510x385 the "safe area" for regular, non-HDTV,
television.
