Render to movie?

BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/Render to movie?

ima747(Posted 2009) [#1]
I've got a minib3d based app. I would like to provide my users with a simple way to record a movie of it's display without having to use a third party capture program etc. Is there any simple way to just render the back buffer through an mpg encoding lib or what have you and generate a movie file? Has anyone played around with in engine capture before? I've grabbed the backbuffer and created jpegs and pixmaps before, but don't know if there might be a shortcut from OpenGL to a movie file...
