I have found a couple of apps that record a section of the screen to mpg, but I can't seem to find one that can record at pre-programmed times.

Basically, I want to select a window or screen area, set a record time and length and have the Mac record what is shown on its screen.

Perhaps via some scripting? But how?

Thanks,

I have a screen recording app + source, do you have an ftp location?

All you would have to do is setup the timing/parameters then call 1 method to record and 1 more to render.

Screenflow is a wonderful app, and it has Automator support. Worth looking into, at least.
