Pocket Controller Professional from Soti (http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro) does a great job.

Yes, Pocket Controller is the best. However, if you already have dotPocket or any desktop-based video recorder (for example, SnagIt), you can also do the same. The former also has video recording capabilities; with the latter, you can even use the free ActiveSync Remote Display, part of Microsoft's PowerToys.

If you can take your notebook with you, then, everything is OK.

If you must record the video on your PDA (no notebook), the situation is a bit worse.

I've quickly listed all the on Handango available solely PPC-based (no desktop component) screen capturer utilities and none of them seemed to have video capture capabiltieies. I can't say this for sure, though, before I've done a real roundup of them - which I will do some time so that I can add this stuff to my article on PPC screenshot taking (http://www.ipaqhq.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20203) (a sticky thread over at iPAQ HQ).

I'll keep this thread posted.
