creating video file in C#

Question

How would I create an application that records the users interactions with the desktop in C# and then convert it to a video format such as avi?

To capture screenshots you can use CopyFromScreen.

Simple C# example:

Rectangle bounds = Screen.GetBounds(Point.Empty);
using(Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(bounds.Width, bounds.Height))
{
    using(Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
    {
         g.CopyFromScreen(Point.Empty, Point.Empty, bounds.Size);
    }

    // TODO: Save or use in any other way.
}

However, if you want to capture videos, it would be better to use something like this Stack Overflow question.
