Capturing live sound

I can't see anything that looks like a download button, only this:

I've drawn a blank with everything. My video recorder creates files with the filetype of .vob which none of the conversion programs seem to recognise.

 

That's weird Peter, see what you mean. Looks like you can d/l the previous version ok though from the link underneath. HTH

I thought I'd found the answer with Audio Recorder For Free, but on playback the "recordings" were just blank. I must have tried every free program going now and still haven't found one that works. I always thought that recording from the sound card was a basic function until I tried to do it. Looking on various forums it seems I'm not the only person who has had the same problem. Surely there must be a free program somewhere that will do the job.

Messer definitely works. Also make sure to select the correct recording source in your systems' audio properties. Mine is "stereo mix". Otherwise you'll get silence.

Audacity does the job, have you tried reinstalling it? I've tried it on three PCs and it works fine

There must be something wrong with my installation of Audacity, as it hardly has any working functions at all. I got there in the end though, using a "borrowed" copy of Total Recorder. It only records in real time though, which is a bit tedious.

 

Edit:

 

I've just reinstalled Audacity and it won't really do anything except play sound files. Very nearly all the menu options are greyed out.

Of course it only works in real time if you're just recording the live sound, there are numerous tools to rip the audio from a video DVD file, I'll find them and put links up in the morning.

Is your sound card a Realtek?
