So I was a little bored, and since I wanted to share something with you b4 i'm going to Spain without internet access, I desided to make an screen recorder after having read this thread by ΔDemon.

It saves the video as an gif image, and therefore you will need to add a reference to the PresentationCode dll.

Superhuge gif here
Spoiler (Click to View)
It's a bad host, but it was the only one i found which allowed gifs, so in case it dossent move you should try to right click the image and chose "Show Picture"

Usage:
Declare it as an variable anywhere in your code

Code

Dim Recorder As New ScreenRecorder

Start and stop it like a timer

Code

Recorder.Start()
Recorder.Stop()

B4 you stop it, you will have to tell it where to save the gif

Code

Recorder.OutputFileName = "C:/YourFile.gif"

You are also able to manage how fast it should record, by make it wait before taking a new picture after each picture

Code

Recorder.SleepTime = 50

You can find out how many pictures that have been taken througth this property

Code

Recorder.ImagesCaptured

You can see the current FPS (Frames pr secound) througth this property

Code

Recorder.FPS

It also got a mode property, but the only current recording mode is full screen as i was to lazy to add more, tell me if you are intressed in more modes and i will make some more ^^

Code

Recorder.Mode = ScreenRecorder.RecordingMode.FullScreen

Hope you will enjoy and learn from this :D

What is the output size? Is it really large?

I meant the size in kb :P

[ΔDemon]

How do you get it to loop? But very cool though. (-: If only Image Output wasn't so large. xD

It depends on what you are setting the 'SleepTime' property to, but it is acctualy pretty big as it is just taking a loot of png's and turning them into a gif.
If you want to decrase the filesize you can change the 'ImageFormat.Png' to 'ImageFormat.Jpg' in the 'capture' sub inside the 'ScreenRecorder' class ^^

Using a do loop inside a thread. That's why you'll have to start and stop it.

Can we record as .AVI or something ?

Btw, nice work I will take a look after..
