And there you have it. You've made a application which isn't specific for MSN Messenger anymore and you are just "wasting" your time creating such a thing because professional companies already made it and they did a far better job with a nice GUI, helpfiles, bugfree tools, etc...
All this is not to say it is impossible, but just to say that some things are better not included as a plugin/addon into an application to prevent bloated software and/or limitations and/or wasted time.
These funcion as save in other formats dont have to be in the plugin but i too see it coming from n00bs. It should just record it in a non compressed RAW format like Fraps does.
Personally i would give it ago but i dont even know what program to use, what funcions/API calls there are, and what lang plugins are even wrote in! In other words i have no idea on programming.
