If we manage to integrate a recorder that is fast enough for most computers, then it will be included in a maintenance upgrade.
However, recording live screen video in an application is quite a task for the processor, and our experience so far is that screen capture software tend to work best. It is actually also possible to dump regular screenshots (e.g. every n:th timestep) to disk as png images, and these can be compressed into a video afterwards. This gives the by far best result, but isn't optimal when capturing live usage in Algodoo (like in the original Phun movie). For interactive capture, external screen capture software is preferred.

We will update the FAQ with more information about video capture. In fact, we will create an entire page about this on the web site.

Then why don't you download any one of those recording software you mentioned? :crazy:
