Screen Recorder

A simple app to act as a proxy to the screen recording APIs in AVFoundation. I would have done this in MacRuby, but AVFoundation does not work with garbage collection on OS X 10.7.

There is not much to see here, but the goal will be a simple app, just some menus, so that screen recordings can be easily started, stopped, or paused.

Usage

Clone and build. There are no external dependencies, you only need a version of XCode that includes Clang with ARC functionality.

When you run the app there will be no windows. You can start a new recording from the menu bar using Recorder > Start and then stop the recording using Recorder > Stop. If you need to pause the recording then you can also use Recorder > Pause and Recorder > Resume.

The screen recording will be saved to ~/Movies and the file name will be shown in the Recorder after a recording has started. Selecting the file from the menu will show the file in the Finder.
