java-screen-recorder
--------------------
java-screen-recorder provides platform independent screen capture and 
playback, producing high quality screen recordings using an internal lossless 
compression algorithm. The recordings can be played back with the included 
screen player application, or optionally converted to the QT movie format, 
using the included screen converter application.

The output video can be post-processed to other formats, using a video 
conversion tool such as ffmpeg.

The screen recorder, player and converter tools are all self contained jar 
files, requiring only the Java Runtime Environment for execution. These 
tools operate independently of any other external software codecs and 
libraries, to provide true platform independent video capture.
