Thank you Hazelnut. I've wondered for some time what software was used to make those Youtube videos with an on screen tutorial straight from someone's desktop. This explains it.

Record Your Desktop

VLC can load your desktop as an input device. This means that you can use the Convert / Save feature to save a video of your desktop, effectively turning VLC into screen capture software. You could also use this in concert with the Stream feature to broadcast a live stream of your desktop across the network or Internet with no additional software required.

And here is me just liking it because it's been a one-stop-shop for the multitude of codecs out there.

Thanks for the link...
