VS9 and Google Earth

[Ken Veal]

Insperation please!
I have downloaded a file from Google Earth that starts with a shot of the globe and then I have to manually zoom in to an aerial shot of my home via continents, country, town, street etc.I want to put this in a project in VS9 as a video but it does not work like that, so the next best way I can think of is to make numerous screen grabs and put these in the timeline as a series of still images.Does any one know of a better way?
regards Ken

Yes, I know a better way, I've done this myself.

I used the paid version of FRAPS to save a movie of a Google Earth animation. FRAPS saves the video in a lossless compressed AVI format that you can then transcode to whatever format you need, or include directly in your project.

Thanks for the info,have downloaded the full Fraps version and will give it a go as soon as I can

If you do a search online for FRAPS version 1.9d, that was last complete freeware version before it became shareware. I tried it out last night using Google Earth and it recorded video just fine without a problem. The interface isn't as pretty as the new verion, but it is 100% free.
