As somewhat of a cheesy hack, can't you capture the desired views or window 
content as bitmaps on schedule and queue them for processing to a file or set 
of files to be converted into a video?

If it's not your app that you want the client to record, couldn't you make an 
SDK for game vendors to adopt?

I realize I'm way out here in "speculation land™" with this gross assumption, 
but we certainly use the front and back cameras with AVFoundation at a decent 
FPS.  I wonder if you could redirect the screen buffer to take the place of one 
of the camera feeds.
