Re: Getting VGA output of one computer to appear in window on another computer's desktop

I need to run the second computer in Safe Mode (and reboot it as well) and see all of this activity in a window on the first computer while I capture the window in Camtasia.

I'm looking to make how-to videos on reformatting a hard drive, removing spyware, etc. I can't depend on
any application like VNC since the operating system on the second computer may not always be present.

The only other way I see to do this is to connect the second computer to a flat-screen monitor and record
the monitor image with a video camera. The flat screen (I believe) would eliminate the flicker. 

Yes, the only ways of doing this are...

1) Run the test computer video into a scan-converter and record as video (NTSC/PAL).

2) Aim a camera at an LCD screen connected to the test
computer.

Any other solution requires software running the the
background which won't work during re-boots or when
running in "safe mode".

It would be nice if there were some way of "recording"
the VGA-style video output of a computer, but so far,
there are no commercially available solutions that I have
heard of.
