    Screen Recorder- Save to AVI?

    Well I need some help with making a screen recorder. My idea for it is to make it take a screenshot 15-30 times a second, and for each shot there will be a text file that will say the location of the cursor when the shot was taken and what the cursor was, like loading or whatever. Then when the user presses save, it will take all the shots, import the cursor in each one and then create an AVI using each of the frames that were initially shot. Another better way would be to take a screenshot with the cursor in it, if thats possible. And ideas?

    Making a screen recorder in VB.net will only hog your memory.
    I would use a lower language.
    I'm saying this from a past experience.


    My Codebank:
    Windows Vista & 7 Glass Effect & Limit the amount of times your application could be opened.
    Pause Your Code & Check the OS name
