Command-line screen recorder for Mac and PC?

[Richard Miller]

David,

I'm assuming this is the way it would work (using the clipboard and 
qtPaste), based on the available EQT commands. I'll be testing it on 
Monday. I thought if one pasted an image at a given time, the image 
would remain visible in the movie for x period of time until it was 
replaced by another. Maybe not.
