Dear All,

I am new to Java and have an idea to create a screencasting software. The basic idea is as follows . When the user gives the command to start, the print screen command of the operating system (windows or ubuntu) is repeated constantly, 6 times a second, and all the images are saved. When the user gives the command to stop, the print screen loop breaks and the images (as frames ) are put together to form a video. Based on this idea, I want to create a program.

Please give me leads on this.

Yours,
Athyuttam

6 frames per second is extremely slow. How do you intend to encode the images? What file format?

Use Java.awt.Robot for Screenshots

Don't know about the video.

I am sure you could find a OPen source project at " SourceForge " developed with Java .You could get the source code for the same & try getting some Idea.My advice when it comes to Software Development as a Beginner is to follow OpenSource as you get the source code ,also people help you like anything over there!!

Me and my brother worked on something like this at one point quite a while back for a speed running site but lost interest when we couldn't figure out how to capture sound. I don't know all of what you need to capture but we got grabbing the screen and used mencoder to encode it into a video. It is pretty ugly code but it did work. PC video capture (idea)
