Saving an Atari game in progress for a few seconds to add website

[bigfriendly]

Hello Everybody:)

 

I was wondering how hard it would be to record a few seconds from an Atari game. Then how do I go about taking that recording/HTML??? and placing into a Word Press blog to loop over and over. Kind of like some peoples Avatars in forums. I'm not a techie guru so if you could keep any help as simple as possible I would be grateful.

 

Thanks:)

 

PS sorry if this is the wrong place to start this thread

If the emulator in use has a record video option, then it's easy. If not, then you need to use a PC-based screen capture program like Camtasia of FRAPS.

 

Then you can put it on Youtube or other streaming facility and embed it on your page.

 

Or you could use a video editor that allows exporting frames to BMP, get a whole bunch of them (probably export every 5th frame or something) then use a GIF creator to create an animated GIF that you put on the page.
