VCD

How would you capture Noteworthy playing a piece of music and scrolling across the screen, and burn it to a vcd so that it can be used in a dvd player as a learning practice option for a cappela singers?

I don't know, myself. BUT... If the number of frames is small, you can do this: Set the tempo to play very slowly. Use screen capture to grab a frame to the clipboard. Then, you can paste into Irfan View (and some others) and save as a bitmap for later editing. When done, make the set an animated GIF, or you can use Windows Media or Quicktime to make it a movie.

I use Windows Media Encoder. It may only work on Windows XP - I'm not sure.  It will create a motion screen capture with sound. I found I actually had to plug the Line In input into the headphone jack of the speaker to get the program to hear the midi (it doesn't offer midi playback as an audio source).  Make sure you mute the Line In playback before you plug your speaker headphone jack into input or there will be feedback.

The program will then create a small WMA file.  I don't know what burning software you are using, but Nero has a problem with the file format.  The format skimps on frames when there is no motion in order to create a smaller file and nero burns them rapidly in succession leaving the audio far behind.  You would have to some how re-encode the video if you wanted to burn with Nero.

Good luck! and feel free to ask more questions.
