Imagine you are playing a computer game on your PC that is designed to use 100% of all resources available on the computer (CPU,GPU,RAM) do you think there is enough resource left to capture/compress/save images to disk ?
Who have tried that know this, the quality is miserable.
For GUI applications, there are tons of screencapture tools, which work fine since frame rate is not important. But for those who need a high quality video capture, frame drops are not acceptable.
Google assigns 2 engineers on this subject. They extend their already well optimized tools to search code. Of course they integrate right into the search engine.
There is a reason for Trolltech to survive as a commercial entity despite a 2000+ USD price tag.
The product is selected by engineers all over the world (not only by programmers in US who are IMHO somewhat manipulated by GTK propaganda). Despite there exists alternatives like gtk,wx and many more. Some of them being quite interesting APIs and SDKs.
Qt is extremely well documented. Even though the signal-slot preprocessing is not that nice, it brings code clarity saving thousands of dollars when the project development itself costs about $100,000.00.
The market has decided for the successful product. If Gtk gets there too, no one would pay thousands of dollars.
This reminds me the early days of private Tv channels in Turkey. Till 1988 private TV channels were not allowed and we had to watch the nice but limited government channels. One day the son of the president of the government started a company in Europe and they broadcasted to Turkey via satellite. And after that day Turkey had a very fast transition from communism style tv broadcasting to almost US style tv broadcasting. This great change almost influenced everything in the country including music industry and news and freedom of speech. Fortunately the parliment in Turkey listened to the communities to legalize the private TV channels but I am not sure if this would be the case for Iranians since they are already banning Turkish channels broadcasting over Iran.

You must be new here.
According to the article, there is no open source supplier from Germany. Shall I be skeptical about the article ?
Fraps doesn't cut.

Both project die in 3 months.
