[enhancement] Need the ability to record video of the screen

[Thomi Richards]

Currently there are no screen video recording tools that work under mir (for example: recordmydesktop). It would be very useful to be able to record videos of failing tests on the Touch devices, but we'd need to have a tool to save video from the running tests first.

Aren't feature requests meant to be Wishlist?

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Feature requests are only wishlist if they're not requirements.

i'm gonna say this is a requirement (not to mention extremely useful)

I think it's safe to say this is done with Mir 0.1.6. We now have the tool "mirscreencast". Although many people might not find the resulting data files very easy to deal with. Arguably not video files. But we can work on that.

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.1.6+14.04.20140310-0ubuntu1
