How to develop screen capture to video application

2019-01-10 07:11发布

问题:

I found similar questions in stackoverflow. But I want to be specific. I visited a web site screencast-o-matic. They have a web-application of java applet which capture screen to export as video. I want to develop similar application. What are the knowledge and steps required to do it?

Thanks and regards.

Edit another website screenr.

  1. To get a screenshot, use Robot.createScreenCapture(Rectangle).
  2. To get many screenshots, call that in a loop invoked by a (Swing) Timer. Add them to an expandable collection such as an ArrayList.
  3. Convert the BufferedImage objects to JPEG format using ImageIO.write().
  4. To form those screenshots into a .MOV, use JpegImagesToMovie of the JMF (yes JMF is obsolete, but the parts that still work, work just fine).

Since I could not find a copy of the JpegImagesToMovie source for love nor searching, here is an old copy that I adapted for my use. I think this version is before any changes had been made.

Note that a Java applet will need to be digitally signed (by you) and trusted (by the end user) before it can get a single screenshot. It will also need trust (or the JNLP API services in a plug-in2 JRE) in order to save a MOV to the client's local file system.

java screen recorder library:

https://code.google.com/p/java-screen-recorder/

You need to include all the .jar from the java-screen-recorder lib and also the jmf lib (can be downloaded here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download-142937.html) to ensure the RecordingConverter is working.

Example

try {
    //Temp file for the Recorder
    File file = new File("D:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop", "screen.cap");
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
    ScreenRecorder screenRecorder = new DesktopScreenRecorder(out,this);
    screenRecorder.startRecording();
    try {
        Thread.sleep(5000);
        screenRecorder.stopRecording();
        //We reformat the video to .mov file
        RecordingConverter.main(new String[]{file.getAbsolutePath()});
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
