I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if this is an obvious question that's been answered before.

Will Snapz Pro X capture and store streaming video from the TV networks, such as episodes of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives?" I can buy these from iTunes (without commercials), but capturing them free (with commercials) might be a viable alternative.

Thanks.

I'm no expert with Snapz, but my understanding is that if you can get it on your computer screen, you can capture it. That's assuming you have the hard disk space to capture an hour of video at 720x486 resolution. I would guess recording a TV show with Snapz is legal as well, since it's equivalent to doing the same with a VCR or DVR.

[edit]Oh, and it looks like there's a discussion on the legality already in progress in this thread.

Hello-
Captain Bob is correct, if it's on screen, then SP X should be able to record it.

I definitely recommend you take advantage of the trial period to ensure it does what you want, and is compatible with your System.
