Can Captivate 4 record video?

I would like to know if Captivate can record a video automatically? This is what I am trying to do, I want to record say a news clip from msnbc.com. It pops up in a separate window and I set captivate to record the window, but is there a way for captivate to basically record it in real time without me having to sit there and keep on clicking the mouse to take a screen shot? I want to be able to just record the news clip then export it as a movie file like avi, or swf and then import it into a powerpoint?

I use Camtasia for recordign the screen like this.  Not sure if Captivate can (I don't use it much).

Hi Donutman,

Yes captivate can record video automatically. This type of recording is called Full Motion Recording i.e. captivate captures everything like a running movie irrespective of events.
