Is there any program that allows me to record some part of my Ambient screen? I have to make a video demonstarting some of my programs.

Such program would require hell of CPU time and memory and I don't think it exists (correct me if I'm wrong).

Well, I didn't try it yet, but if you have a video/s-video output on your gfx card (I do), you could, for instance, record it to a VHS tape. Try lower screen resolutions like 800 x 600 and lower, as I don't think other resolutions are supported for regular video output (if it's enabled).

Let us know!

Yes i have made such a program,
i called it PIP. It's beta, and
it's a WarpOS executable.
The stability isn't perfect.

It can record realtime for hours,
and has a own priority option, so
that other progs keep running. It
uses ffmpeg to finaly create the
video file. NO SOUND!

I never got to release the beta.
If your realy interested, i will
put it on my site.

Hello Felix it would be great, when you would release it. I heard about PIP some month ago and waited for the release, but it never apeard.

You're right, we have a few programs in beta for
a while now, we suppose to release them at some
point, but things got in the way.

I've uploaded a beta of PIP here:

http://www.attention-software.com/PIP.lha

A few words about this release, it's possible
to grab in two modes, realtime and into memory,
wich means direct to HD or to Memory, please
only use realtime (direct to hd) mode.

When you click on realtime, the SAVE button
will disable, because video is saved on the fly.
FFMPEG is included in this archive, unlike the
guide mentions. Remember it's very beta!

Sorry for the rather huge archive, there are
two example mpg's included.

PIP (beta)

Thanks!
But the Guide is realy short how can Record? And how can i open the PIP Window not the Prefs on another Screen?

Sorry for the short guide.
First you should open de pip window,
then the prefs window.
Then you should click on realtime, so that the
save button becomes ghosted.
Then you can switch the prefs window to
another screen with MUI menu, the pip window
can be switched with the 'Jump screen' button.

I thought it was pretty self explaining, but that's
because i created it

Hope this helps.

Someone write a better guide :)

Felix.

@Felix
Thanks! I tested it and that is exactly what I need :)

Ok then, hope other folks will have some
benefit from it too

We will make a site entry and some more
info about the program soon, we hope :)

I already have made a attempt to make
PIP MorphOS native, but i was stuck on
the save routine, mabe ill catch up one
of these days too.

Bye,
Felix.
