Hello,
i'm searching for a good solution to capture my application to avi video
or a flash film...
i tried a few things:

- dotpocket from http://www.dotpocket.com/pocket-pc-software.html
- very good app, but there a some problems:
- the performance is really bad, so you can't capture a avi while
workinf with the pocket pc, because it's so slow.... also for a
presentation it's to slow... i think the reason is, that the application
connect directly to the graphic card....

- PocketVNC from http://www.pocketvnc.com/pocketVNC.aspx
- really nice idea and it's working nearlly perfect, but it doesn't
support resolution 480x640.... and that's th reason why is not suitable
for me...
- vnc2swf from http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/index.html
- really cool app, but until PocketVNC is not running with 480x640
resolution it's not interesting...


Any other ideas to record a sreen session from a Pocket PC with
resolution 480x640 to avi or flash in an efficient way... Are there more
than the above mentioned programs/tools...


BTW: Yes i know the best solution to present the app is a CF-VGA card
for my pocket pc but my main interest is the recording...



Regards
Carsten
 
Well, you might be able to use the remote display power toy from the
Microsoft download site, www.microsoft.com/downloads, and actually record
the 'video' on the PC by recording the contents of the remote display
application window on that end. I don't know what kind of performance you
need, but the resolution should work fine, no matter what it is on the
Windows CE end.

Ok thanks, another Tool... but still not good enough.... the quality of
the image is very bad... (seems to be 240x320 interpolated to
480x640)... :-(
 
Might be. You could get the source for the client end of the connection
from the Platform Builder evaluation version, for example. Look at that.
No doubt it's not marked as 480x640-aware and that's the reason you're
seeing what you are. You'd have to adjust it so that PPC will let it see
the true resolution of the screen (recompile and relink). At that point,
you should be able to have it send the real screen back to the desktop and
continue...
