Save Processing screen as video with jCodec – new

It may not be easy for readers to get the old jcodec-0.1.5.jar for what I have done in the last post. I tried to work out for a newer solution but found that the latest version did change quite a lot. The latest jcodec source is 0.2.0. I built the latest two files for the Processing test

jcodec-0.2.0.jar
jcodec-javase-0.2.0.jar

You can download a compressed file of the code folder where you can drop and extract inside the Processing sketch folder. The Processing codes also change to reflect the class structure. Here it is.
