Both apps are using the QuickTime protocol I think.  All of the same compression/file formats should be available in each application.

iShowU is much slower however than Snapz because iShowU tries to do compression on the fly. For full screen capture, iShowU is simply not an option while SnapzPro lets you choose different compression schemes after the fact (which is actually nice if you want to make a high quality H.264 and some sort of lame version for people on old systems).

Also, I run Snapz on Leopard ;)

Hello,

I've been pleased with iShowU lately.  Much more flexible than Snapz IMHO.  

It only runs when launched (Snapz Pro is always running), and it offers a nice UI for on-the-fly video compression as well.  Plus, Leopard support already for $20.

If you're on a mac, just get Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia Software for $69. It's probably a lot better than any code from someone on the web and you can then capture your cursor and other info.

Note, it's necessary to run these scripts out of the SwigInterface/ directory rather than the lib/ directory due to dependencies on other scripts.

source bin/pythonpath.csh

python ../SwigInterface/runwxmanta.py

I just found some code to stream frames from GL directly into quicktime, so the next time I need to make a movie in Manta I will probably add that feature to the GUI.
