21 * Use the methods in this class for capturing consistent, high quality video
22 * and audio from a jMonkeyEngine3 application. To capture audio or video do
23 * the following:
24 *
25 * 1.) Set your application's timer to an IsoTimer. Create the IsoTimer with the
26 * desired video frames-per-second.
27 *
28 * 2.) Call captureAudio and/or captureVideo on the Application as desired
29 * before starting the Application.
30 *
31 * See the Basic and Advanced demos in the examples section for more
32 * information. If you have any trouble, please PM me on the jMonkeyEngine
33 * forums. My username is bortreb.

41 * Use this function to capture video from your application. You
42 * specify the framerate at which the video will be recording by setting
43 * the Application's timer to an IsoTimer created with the desired
44 * frames-per-second.
45 *
46 * There are three ways to record and they are selected by the
47 * properties of the file that you specify.
48 *
49 * 1.) (Preferred) If you supply an empty directory as the file, then
50 * the video will be saved as a sequence of .png files, one file per
51 * frame. The files start at 0000000.png and increment from there.
52 * You can then combine the frames into your preferred
53 * container/codec. If the directory is not empty, then writing
54 * video frames to it will fail, and nothing will be written.
55 *
56 * 2.) If the filename ends in ".avi" then the frames will be encoded as
57 * a RAW stream inside an AVI 1.0 container. The resulting file
58 * will be quite large and you will probably want to re-encode it to
59 * your preferred container/codec format. Be advised that some
60 * video payers cannot process AVI with a RAW stream, and that AVI
61 * 1.0 files generated by this method that exceed 2.0GB are invalid
62 * according to the AVI 1.0 spec (but many programs can still deal
63 * with them.) Thanks to Werner Randelshofer for his excellent work
64 * which made AVI file writer option possible.
65 *
66 * 3.) Any non-directory file ending in anything other than ".avi" will
67 * be processed through Xuggle. Xuggle provides the option to use
68 * many codecs/containers, but you will have to install it on your
69 * system yourself in order to use this option. Please visit
70 * http://www.xuggle.com/ to learn how to do this.
71 *
72 * @param app The Application from which you wish to record Video.
73 * @param file The file to which the video will be captured.
