.kkapture

.kkapture is a simple utility that will produce video and audio captures of fullscreen applications (usually demos).

Unlike fraps, it does not run in realtime; instead, it makes the demos run at a given, fixed framerate you can specify beforehand. in other words, .kkapture can make 60fps video captures of any demo your computer can run, even if each frame takes several seconds to render.

For windows demos, it is usually not much work to add a video writer to your program. However, that has to be done by the authors; the nice part about .kkapture is that it is sufficiently general to work with a wide variety of demos, automatically.

If you do demos yourself and .kkapture is able to handle your demo without problems, well, you've just saved yourself the work of coding a video writer yourself.

The main application area is when you want to make several quality video captures of different demos in a short period of time, without having to contact each of the coders.

The production of demo dvds or pre-cut demo showswould be a prime example.
