[android-developers] Re: Capture Video of App

I need this for my own stuff as well. I thought about demoing slowly
and speeding up the video a while back, but then getting the audio
right would be difficult. Maybe some people don't have important
audio, though.

In the meantime, with the point-a-camera-at-it solutions, I've found
the camera you use makes a big difference. This one I did with a
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 looks decent:

This earlier one with a WolfVision VZ-8plus document camera fed into S-
video capture is too blurry:

This even earlier one done with an HTC Evo 4G is both blurry and has
bizarre artifacts:

So when considering that route, make sure not to give up after trying
with a poor camera, I guess.
