Sweet, I'm glad to hear this landed.  I was playing with some of 
the early bits, and made a utility to do something similar.  
However, it's intended to do both screenshots and videos, to do 
it entirely on-device, and to work with automated test tools.

I haven't had a chance to try image 230 yet though, or to update 
the tool accordingly.  Also, last I checked, mir didn't have the 
ability to stream video to stdout yet, so I haven't added proper 
video support (only splitting the input file into multiple 
frames).  It'll probably require a lot of tweaking to get the 
best video quality.

I should have it updated for image 230 later today (the install 
process should be much easier, not expecting much else to change 
yet though).
