An easy way to do this, if you can dedicate the whole computer to just capturing the movie, is to setup a ffmpeg screencast, where you basically are capturing your screen to a movie. I've tested this, and it works pretty well. I don't know if you will be able to attain a 60 fps rate, but it's worth a try. See screencasts with ffmpeg for a step-by-step example.

UPDATE As I sat and thought about it, the screencast example uses the mkv video format, which has a very useful trait... you can just concat them together to make long videos out of short ones. So... to avoid your excessive saving of frames to disk, you could save say 10000 frames at a time, and when the counter hit 10000, you make one mkv movie segment, then discard the old frames and start another 10000. At the end, concat all the mkv's into one movie and convert it to mp4, avi, or whatever you choose.

Ideas come to me in spurts, sorry I spread my answer out over 3 posts. :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
