Making a screen capture? Or video capture?

Bubble Buster Advanced's screenshot on the PocketGear page, shown here:

...has an animated GIF of a few frames that don't give the game justice for the amount of animation that's going on at one time.

Is there a way to capture a series of frames or a video's worth?

I suppose it doesn't have to be capturing on the PocketPC, since I could be capturing the test run on the Windows environment before I export it.

What would work well for this particular need?

Hello,
You mean you want to make an animated sequence in your animated gif ? Like this ?

Yes, you could say that. Or an AVI capture that I can turn into an animated GIF or a Flash file.

What I did was simply pressed ALT-PRINTSCREEN at good moments, then layered them in a GIF animator. Of course, I'm not going to be able to make a smooth animation like you posted, but that's what I eventually want to get.

PRINTSCREEN will take the entire screen. My game is in a 240x320 window, no need to capture 1920x1080. ;)
