I am trying to determine a way to screen record or generate simulation videos. The open source 3D post processing example (http://www.yade-dem.org/doc/tutorial-examples.html) seems to implement the right idea ... however 
qt.SnapshotEngine  saves the images of the 3d view as it appears on the screen periodically, where I am hoping to simply capture the particle interactions during a simulation. I currently do not have a need to capture the simulation as it does in this file. 

Capturing periodic simulation snapshots seems to be the best method of screen recording. This also seems to be the only way to capture simulations since I am not able to run dual commands from my VM terminal (I am a beginner Linux user, so this assumption might be incorrect). 

Are there any suggestions/alternatives to capturing Yade simulations aside from the open source 3D post processing example?

Thanks!
Kieran
