<viz:window>.startRecording

Start recording screen to AVI

<viz:window>.startRecording(  
filename  
)  
filename
Name of AVI file to record to

Remarks

This command will notify Vizard to start recording the graphics screen to the specified AVI file. Only one recording is allowed at a time, so if a recording is already in progress, it will be stopped.

Note: Vizard records the AVI files uncompressed, so it requires a lot of hard drive space. Recording the screen to an AVI requires a significant amount of processing. If you are recording a script that is using a lot of processing, then the AVI will appear choppy.

Return Value

None
