How to Record Sound When Watching a Movie on Windows Media Player
Using your computer to record a sound playing on your computer may sound tricky, but it's actually not. Windows has a built-in application to record sound, called "Sound Recorder," and most PCs and laptops have headphone and line-in jacks for listening and recording, respectively. You can use Sound Recorder, along with these audio jacks, to record a sound clip from a movie playing in Windows Media Player.
