Now with Support for the iPad Simulator

Capturing video from the iPad Simulator has been made as simple as capturing iPhone video always was. And SimCap now offers a selection of scaling options to reduce movies down to a more managable size. (But please take a few moments to read about the possible gotchas here.)

Features

For Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard†.
Capture video and screenshots quickly and easily with a single click.
Encodes to standard H.264 QuickTime moive format, including a new lossless setting for export to other video editing systems.
Scale and rotate movies as they're captured, avoiding bothersome post-processing.
Records audio from the Simulator using the open source Soundflower audio plug-in.
Encodes voice-over audio as AAC with a choice of three quality options.
SimCap grabs sequences of screenshots, making choosing that perfect action shot for the App Store easier than ever.
SimCap records just the iPhone Simulator screen, no matter where its window is or what orientation it's in. No more fiddling around setting up immovable recording rectangles or cropping down full screen videos.
Choose to show mouse (finger) position, taps and multi-touch in videos.
SimCap can automatically crop away the iPhone status bar.
Available as 14-day free trial, after which time movies are watermarked.

† iPad Simulator capture support requires the iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta, which in turn requires Snow Leopard.

SimCap can now record audio directly from the Simulator. Read our how to guide to get started.
