Sometimes you want to send people a small movie showing what's happening on your screen instaead of a static screen grab.
This would be useful for computer support, where a user says, 'When I press x, this number changes and then changes back to what it was before'. This sort of thing is hard to
see in a screen grab, but would be easy to see if they could send you a small movie.
Or you could use it to send a friend a small movie of some cool graphics or a game you've got.
So the utility is like the 'Print Scrn' button, but you press a button to start recording, then press again to stop a bit later. It creates a movie file, maybe giving you compression options.

You can do this with XP's Remote Assistance feature - ok its not really a movie per say, more a live performance. |

It's generally considered bad form to post without searching to see if your idea exists. |
