After you start recording it says "Click to record the full screen. Drag
to record part of the screeen. End recording by clicking the stop button
in the menu bar."
Yes, it records the whole screen so the video file can be pretty big
depending on what resolution you are running at and how you compress it
afterwards.
It won't start recording until you physically click. No VO mouse clicks
seem to make this go. You don't have to click anywhere in particular.
The click won't action anything and you'll be left in the QTPlayer app
so you'll have to command-tab to whatever actual app you wanted to
interact with for the recording.
A slight variant to what Tim said is you can wait until you've done
whatever you want recorded then command-tab back to QuickTime Player and
hit escape. That will pop the controller window up and move VO to the
stop button. Then you just VO-space to stop the recording.

Hi,
Sorry, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it does the entire screen though
as only doing the active window would be counter-productive.

Well, thanks, that seems to have worked. I never would have guessed
at those steps, but I finally have the recording Apple wanted. At
least, I hope I do; the audio is good, but I have no idea if it
captured the screen correctly. By default, does it record the whole
screen, or just the active window, do you know? I'll have a sighted
person review it before I upload it, but I'm curious.

Hi Alex,
Try it this way.
1. Go into QuickTime.
2. Press cmd-ctrl-n to open the new ScreenRecorder window.
3. VO-space on the Start button.
The stupid window comes up that doesn't seem to have anything VO useful
4. Press VO-cmd-f5 to bring mouse focus to the VO focus.
5. Physically click your mouse or trackpad.
This will start the recording. I don't think you actually need to
do step #4 but I just make sure that the mouse won't click out of
the window by bringing it to the current VO focused spot.
6. Press Escape or cmd-period.
There will be a window with the Stop button and a little clock timer
thing counting up how long it's been recording as well as the
current size of the file.
7. cmd-tab out of QuickTime and do whatever you wished recorded and
then cmd-tab back into QuickTime when done.
8. VO-space on the Stop button.
The regular QuickTime window will appear now with the Play/Pause
button. Press VO-space on it to start or stop. This is totally
visual so there's nothing much to do from a VO prospective except
possibly look at the elapse time.
9. Save your file and send it off.
10. Tell the Apple engineers to fix that window so that it is more
VO friendly.
HTH.

Hi all,
I'm using Quicktime to do a screencast of a problem in a beta -
Apple wants to see what's visually going on so they can track down
the issue. However, I cannot get Quicktime to start or stop on
command, and the "stop recording" item in the Extras menus doesn't
work well either. Even the start button in Quicktime doesn't seem
to always work, yet once you hit it you have no controls until you
can activate the control in the Extras menu. Basically, I can't get
Quicktime to reliably start or stop recording, so I've done the
demo three times now and not once have I managed to actually record
it. Yet two test recordings have gone, not fine, but I at least got
a result. Is there something in Quicktime that will make this
easier, or do people have alternative screen casting apps they
prefer? Again, this has to record the Mac's screen as well as
audio, not just the audio, and output a commonly supported movie
format. Any thoughts?
