hello, this is are 2 global question I m asking myself before beginning a new project:
*is it possible to record a clean video stream in PAL 25fps inside allegro ?
if not, is there any incompatibility to use a c++ library ( if you know a free and weightloss one could be good ) ?
if no avi recording is possible, do you think that serial screen capture will be effectiv for this rate ?

*as allegro is only 1 window, does it have any incopatibility with working on 2 monitors the same window ( rez 1920 x 800)

the project is video oriented... for cartoonery.

Thanks for your answer !

hello andrei, I m under windows, with dev-cpp ( mingw32 compiler). I hate completely windows code like, so about video grabing libraries, a cross platform should be sure better.
i m planning to be able to record what i m doing in an allegro fullscreen. as functionnalities of sprites manipulations are very easy in allegro, i want to create a project to manipulate LIVE like digital puppets. No flash like encoding api, but a simple, intuitive , with sensors interface.
I will make test with windowed applications, because, I m not only need a recording but also need to perform live those manipulatuions (I m working in theatre field). So the window extended to 2 screen can be usefull: principal screen for menus calling and encoding, 2nd monitor for diffusion in video projector.

Thanks for your answer, I m intterrested about what you think on this subject and generally how to handle it .... sincerely, christoph
