Video screencapture possible?

I was wondering if it would be possible to capture everything that happens on the screen of my XDAII to a movie file.
I've got RESCO image capture, but thats only for still images, while i'm looking for a video
(For a presentation for school I need to demonstrate how TomTom actually works, so i want the audience to see what you see when you use it)
anyone heared of a tool that could do this?
thanx!

Try Pocket controller-Enterprise: http://www.soti.net/ that has video capture.

use Leo as a webcam

I know, there are many solutions out there to use any mobilephone's webcam, but I didn't found any free ones and maybe one of you use his/her Leo as a webcam already (for Skype at PC eg) and can recommend me a one!?
thanks

Oh, that would be great!

Hmmm I got a one called WebCamera Plus, but worked not very well in trial, because there were many "scratches" every few seconds. That was very ugly. Did s.o. else have a better opinion or knows how to "solve" this problem? (It has a nice interface at all)

mobiola webcam for windows mobile works perfectly with skype and msn. although its a trial version - but funny anyway

OK I think I can sum up that both commercial solutions like "WebCamera Plus" and "Mobiola Webcam" are pretty useless on the HD2, cause the both seem not to work fluid an smooth, the picture gets stripes all the time and it lacks a lil bit too much for me.
So I searched a long time for another solution and finally found the way of the xda-member pafke, who says:
This is in short how it works (and it is free):
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

you can find the quotation here!
And this one really works fine, BUT it's not really comfortable! So you can make the Program track the windows from MyMobiler even when you open applications in the front and it's much more fluid than the other commercial programs and you can stream it to ICQ, Skype, chatroulette and whereever you want perfectly, BUT there are even some cons!
Like the camera is very sharp and I would like to make it more smooth and overlay it with a red/orange filter for make it a more wamer and then there is the problem with the size, I tried it serveral times to rotate (with MyMobile -> rotate) but that was a whole crap! Unfortunally resizing is not the best skill of the VH Screen Driver.
Maybe some of you got along with that problem or know an application to set after the VHS Screen Driver outgoing stream to rotate/scale/Colorize filter and make a new stream of that which can be used of skype, icq and all webcam related services and programs!?

Quick menu - Amazing little drop down menu to open and close apps quickly
AE button plus - remap the hardware buttons to 3 functions each like scrolling up and down, page turn etc
Resco File explorer and Registry - unfortunately alot of things on win mo have to be tweaked using tips from XDA.

Coreplayer for Snapdragon?

there's one doing the rounds extracted from the tg01 which uses hardware acceleration. not legit though as its only licensed for use with the Toshiba

To be honest, have tried the Acer/TG01 versions of Coreplayer and in my test it's rubbish, mild increase on some file formats, normal version 1.36 of Coreplayer easily outperforms the supposed Hardware accelerated versions and these so called HW accelerated versions were unstable.

1-Resco explorer 2010 - It is very user friendly with a lot of function file explorer for HD2
2-Torchbutton - It is very usefull small program to enable led flash as a torch, you can add this to your program tab or assign as a button!
3-resco photo viewer 7.03 (multitouch support) - multitouch support and editing support software for viewing and editing pictures
4-googlemaps - ???!!! no need to explain
5-hicalculator - the best calculator for HD2 in my opinion with many (i really mean MANY) functions...
6-xdashutdown - for soft reset
7-coreplayer for snapdragon - for playing video and audio files support many formats!
8-spb wireless monitor - for measuring how many kilobytes or megabytes you use with your data,usb and wifi connection!
9-midomi 2.3(though it doesn't work correctly but i have to work on it) - just search then you will get what this is, it used for music recognition
10-foxit reader (for viewing pdf files and it is quicker than adobe reader )
and of course for those who are frustrated from htc messaging VITO SMSChat + registry hack(in order to make vito, the default sms application)

Yep, HTC Album outperforms it as well, much smoother and better quality with correctly encoded videos.
I still use the retail 1.36 for music and standard dvd/tv rips.

Coreplayer for SnapDragon
Can any kind souls provide the link to this Coreplayer for SnapDragon please?
Or at least point me in the right direction by giving the correct filename?
TIA.

Morphgear, FPSEce, Resco Explorer, CorePlayer, Pocket Player, allReader, Opera, Pigeon!, Twitter tab , google maps, rss hub, youtube application, xdaShutdown.

Very cool thread but to have value to it you should include what the app does, I'd say it's more important than download link.. I'm gonna add my list later

Coreplayer first and foremost! So, I'd love to try the SnapDragon version. I'd appreciate a link or a point in the right direction.

I want to use the topaz cam like a real time camera, for example when you are doing a public presentation with a pc and a videoprojector and you would like to show a small device on the desk near your pc
I want to know if it exists an app wich can display in the real time the view of the back topaz camera?
I have begun with my mobiler and when i switch on the cam app i have a black screen on the mymobiler windows of my pc so I have tried another several apps like Mobiola or WebCamera Plus but i don't succeed to have on my PC a real time screen of my topaz .

Thanks for your help

I can get real time camera with Mobiola. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you?
Have you tried Pocket Controller? It is like My Mobiler but better.

With mobiola it only works in 240x320 but it is too small.

I have tried Pocket Controller and when i switch on the camera, i have a black screen on my Pocket Controller PC screen.
But if i start mobiola, i can see it in a bigger size on my Pocket Controller PC screen. So it works but it is not very easy and i have to start 2 apps
Why i can not see on my Pocket Controller PC screen the camera view when it is switch on whereas with mobiola i can?

Yeah, unfortunately Pocket Controller can't render real time images because there is always a slight delay.

the display time with Pocket Controller is faster than with my mobiler
But I don't understand why with Pocket Controller or with my mobiler, the PC display windows don't show the screen of my topaz and replace it with black screen?

Yeah, I have never cared for My Mobiler, much prefer Pocket Controller.
I think they lack the proper video drivers to render video from the screen correctly, so the screen goes black.

I think about that too
But why i can see the screen with mobiola and not with Pocket Controller? perhaps it is a drivers problem....
