VIdeo capture support

[ametedinov]

Would you add support for video capturing the guest operating system. Being able to record a video of the behaviour of a host os is particularly useful when you want to report a bug in the host os. Other uses of this are the ability to capture screens of text/commands that appear only for a second. Providing a video tutorial about some os will then also be possible.

This is already available in VirtualBox (in the VBoxHeadless front-end to be precise), but it requires an external component that you need to build yourself. See  http://virtualbox.de/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxHeadless/VideoCapture .

Can this be part of the program upstream? or at least can you write a tutorial how it has to be done? is this available in a package for ubuntu or fedora?

VBox 4.3 allow you to capture the guest session.
