Screenrecording app with AIR 2.0 Beta

Yeah yeah it`s been a while….

But here is something I just have to show. I guess you`ve all played with the awesome AIR 2.0 Beta so you know about the NativeProcess class and all the options we have now.
Basically the only thing you have to do is google for some cool cross platform command line apps and build a nice AIR user interface and you can build beautifull and powerfull desktop apps.
So one of the first things I tried was something that was on my wishlist for the flash platform for a long time – SCREENRECORDING!

This app records the users screen and encodes it to flash friendly mp4 files with h264 video.

Check out this screenrecording of my screenrecording app :-)

I really plan to write an article about how to do this but i`ll never promise anything again :-)

    Benjamin,

    That is very nice. I just put up the second part of an ActionScript 3.0 Design Pattern catalog, and I was unable to get it working with AIR 1.0. (http://as3dp.com) so I’m going to give it a try in AIR 2.0.

    Looking forward to reading your article.

    Kindest regards,
    Bill

    Nice example!
    I’m playing around with air 2.0 beta and vlc. I was wondering if you are recording to h264 or some other video format first and combine screen-recording and voice later. would be great if you could share the command line you are using :-)

    Hi friend, Its and excellent job. Would you be kind enough to share the basic idea/code behind this project? Thank you.

    This is something I’ve wanted to do for forever! Well done, man, well done. Feel free to write that follow-up post at any time! :)

    What cross platform command line screen recorder did you use? VLC? ffmpeg?

  21. James M. on February 26th, 2010 5:01 am

    Is there any chance we could download the finished screenloading app?
