Getting Ready for Screen Capture

I plan to record a couple of tutorials.  So here is the setup that I think will work:
  • Capture screen and audio using BB FlashBack Express.  The free version can export into flash FLV or AVI file.  The former can not be imported into Sony Vegas.  For the latter to work you need a good codec...
  • This is where Huffyuv loss-less codec comes in.  Installation instructions work on Windows 8.
    EDIT: It appears AVI file with this codec can not be imported into Sony Vegas.  No idea why.  Instead I used Blackmagic 8 bit MJPEG codec - worked well. 
  • As to audio - I plan to reuse the hardware I already own: Rode NTG-1 (about 1 foot from my mouth pointed at my chest) plugged into Tascam DR-60DmkII (Gain: MID, knob at 2 o'clock). Line out of the latter plugged into line in of the PC.
Today I tested the setup and I think I am ready!  Can't wait to start recording!
