I have a strange request. How would someone record the display of a blitzmax game? For may be a trailer or something? I want to export some of my blitzmax stuff to video, but not sure how to. What's the best way this can/should be done? Appreciate it! ---Alex |

The easiest way is probably to use something like http://www.fraps.com/ , or similar recording software. To do it from inside the blitzmax game itself, I hope someone else has suggestions. |

For in-game, one thing I did was simply a combination of GrabPixmap and SavePixmapPNG, EVERY FRAME. Sure, lots of file's and drive space, but then later I processed the images into a movie file using some other external utility. |

You could convert this BlitzMax. (Assuming you are on Windows.) With threading, this could actually be a practical solution. |
