After spending too much time trying to get a video of my app, I wanted to follow up on this thread. Last night I spent the better part of the night trying to capture video and audio from a walk-through of my application. I used Fraps to capture video of my desktop and the audio from my headset,

Some phones have a video-out that can mirror whatever's on the screen (not just for videos, like some other phones). The Samsung Galaxy S is supposed to be one of those: http://www.careace.net/2010/07/28/how-to-use-samsung-galaxy-s-tv-out-feature/ although I haven't had a reason yet to try it

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have a Droid X with the HDMI cable, but I'm not sure I have anything that can capture that video. I'll have to look more into that. I was thinking I would simply record me using the phone with a regular video camera that's mounted, as Nathan described. --

That's definitely a concern of mine as well. That said, I've done a lot of amateur video work in the past and it's really not all that involved. I think if you spend the time to make a decent script of what you're going to say, how you're going to flow through your app, and stick to that, it's
