VB Screen Recorder - Save as Video

Requested tutorial for a screen capture program that records all screen activity and saves the end result into a video file. Can record in Low and High quality video and is only a small amount of code. Uses the Media player 9 encoder and SDK both available from Microsoft website for free. You can download the source-code and view the tutorial on my website at http://www.codenstuff.com/forum/show.php?id=10

well im useing windows xp and it is totaly not work what i mean by "totaly" is that when i try to do anything a stupid errer pops up so ya try and make one that works

[imbetavb]

What is the error message you receive?. And it does work,  you can see it working on the video.

[Zelsoft]

This dose not work at all if you want to make a video on something make it good

[imbetavb]

@Zelsoft It does work if you install the SDK and Encoder from the tutorial. If you are on Vista you will need a patch for the encoder from microsoft website. If your on windows 7 it may or may not work because no patch is currently available for that OS.

i was recently trying one out with bitmaps taken every ten seconds making individual frames of an AVI. a 7 second video was 200Mb. now i will 'rearrange' the source code into something altogether more pleasing.
