Hi,

this is the way we use:

We added some lines to our draw callback whereby the central part is based
on pfuSaveImage().

This produces a sequence of images. (With sprintf it's easy to
create a filename including an increasing number.)

Later we use mediaconvert to convert this sequence into a video with
desired format.

Due to the pfuSaveImage the refresh rate drops dramatically. Therefore we
related our animations/navigation to a simulation timer which is no more
the time returned by pfGetTime(). Thus, we are able to adjust the
progress during recording to the framerate we want to use in the
video.

Best regards,
Dirk.

P.S.: Btw. it's important to provide enough free space on harddisk. ;-)
