How to convert .fsx movie files recorded in the Tekscan software into a standard movie format


Question/Problem: How can I convert .fsx movie files recorded in the Tekscan software into a standard movie format? If this is not possible with your software, what do you recommend?

Answer/Solution: This cannot be done directly from the Tekscan software but, you can capture the movie to an *.avi file using a couple of different dynamic screen capture products.

These screen capture programs can record what is happening on your computer screen and can save this information as an AVI (*.avi) file -- a popular digital video format. Think of yourself holding a video camera to capture what is occurring on-screen. You can record the *.fsx movie in your software, and save the screen movement as an *.avi file. To do this, you could start the Tekscan software and play back a Tekscan movie, while capturing the screen image to video with the dynamic screen capture software.

A full explanation of how to use screen video capture software is beyond the scope of this document; however, here are two products that can capture screen information to an *.avi file:

Hypercam, www.hyperionics.com

Camtasia, www.techsmith.com/products/studio/default.asp

Information on their use of these products can be found at the above websites.
