Record a video from the demo viewer

[ghost]

Right now Teeworlds can take screenshots, what about taking it to the next level and put a function to take 25 screenshots per second or to create a .avi?

This might be done someday but not in the near future.

this will make slow the game surely, is better to use a program and record from demo playback

@ghost: "Record a video from the demo viewer" this would not affect the gameplay because it's a demo. ;)
But there are some steps to do.

1. Slow down/sync playback of the demo to capture every frame. (sync video - demo)
2. Slow down/sync particle rendering
3. slow down/sync item rendering (weapons rotation for example)
4. Sync sound. Fetch n Bytes every frame
5. Flip the captured rows
6. Convert the rgb-values to the target format
7. convert the sound data to the target format
8. send the converted data to the encoder
9. fetch the encoded data and merge sound and video
10. write the output to the disk.

As you can see, this is not that easy

Done in ddnet/ddnet#1928 btw

I don't think Teeworlds needs all these dependencies, especially when screen recording is a feature included in any modern operating system and already works with Teeworlds.
