Thanks for tip. I'll check it out. I see that the Standard Edition
doesn't support editing, while the Professional Edition does. The
Pro version is still a hundred bucks cheaper than Camtasia, so it
looks like a good value. But I'll start with a trial of the Standard
version.

Sounds worth trying. To do so, do I have to uninstall VirtualBox, or
just make sure that it's not running at the same time as VPC? I know
you've said before that different VMs don't peacefully coexist, and
I don't want to start WWIII on my desktop.
