Hi I'm trying to make a program that can basically take screen prints every n times a second and compress it into video format. I would like this program to run on windows and it should not matter what programs are running or what have you. If the OS system does not allow for me to take screen prints all the time, then I would like to take VGA output and plug that into another computer which would have the single task of recording and compressing this video information. How would I make such a program and what resources could I use.

Thanks

I don't know much about this stuff, but if you are using C or C++ in Windows, this may help for screen capture: Various methods for capturing the screen - CodeProject. If you are doing it in Linux, there are probably different methods for different desktop environments. Now, for the video compression, I can't help you there.
