Hi,

I have written a drawing program which runs in an endless loop and captures a series of images from the program. This works fine.  I have attempted to use the the MovieMaker class within the video library, in order to capture a .mov file of this process, to no avail.

The code below works correctly. the additional MovieMaker class related code has been commented out (using // and /* */) Removing the comments to implement this extra code results in the program not running at all. I would most appreciative of any help with this!

thanks in advance.
