VLC SCREEN CAPTURE CANNOT CAPTURE AUDIO, SO USE SEPARATE AUDIO RECORDER APP. I recommend using Audacity for recording sound from you computer

Then set the ’Desired frame rate for the capture’ I recommend 30 frames per second.

You then get a new Convert window where you choose Profile: Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4)

Getting the mouse pointer to work: In VLC meny choose ’Tools/preferences’

Next scroll down to ’Input / Codecs and choose ’Access modules’
Find the ’Screen’ setting
Click the checkbox ’Follow the mouse’
If you havent download my mouse pointer from description, do so now.
