Automating screen captures?

17 Oct 2006

Oh, lazyweb, I implore thee…

I’m looking for a screen capture tool that can automate captures. Every time the Windows desktop changes, I’d like to capture it. Or, for a Mac, everytime the contents of a window changes (the window would be a VNC connection to the Windows system).

There’s those security cameras that only record when there’s movement. I want that, but for screen captures. Heck, even a screencasting tool that ignored duplicate frames would would.

Anything out there?

Pfff! Ye who is so lazy!

If you run OS X or Linux you could just write a shell script.
