[MPlayer-users] How to record the X output

[J. Grant]

There is not a way, there is proprietary software to do this for X and 
also win32.  However, this costs.

Your friend could write a script that takes screenshots 25 times per 
sec, then you can reconstruct all those images into a video.  Does 
mencoder suppport inputing separate frames like this?

Cheers
