ok, thank you.

What I am trying to do is record what I am doing on the desktop then maybe bein able to edit in a few things like short bursts of text so I can teach someone how I am doing what I do. Then, I want to be able to take it to another computer or burn it to a dvd for someone to watch on their dvd player on their tv or computer so I assume I have to use debut to record it then edit it with something else? Then would I need a 3rd program to either burn it to a dvd? Can I just copy the mp4 to a flash drive and then let them put it on their computer to play it? Or does debut prohibit them from doing that unless they use debut's software? Sorry I am new to this and just

I meant to say record as. What is the best thing to use to edit an mp4?

When I try and record my desktop, I tried it saving to an avi and a mov and bot times it recorded audio but black screen. when I did it as an mp4 it was ok. It wasn't a game or anything, just about 1 minute of desktop movement. Any ideas? I usually buy my software in a store so I am a little leary of downloading and buying in the first place. Any ideas?
