Is there a way to modify movie writer so it records the whole screen with the UIKit elements, instead of just the GPUImage views?

Not that I can see, no. We really don't have access to the whole screen as an image or anything like that, so we can't do this. I recall seeing someone on Stack Overflow posting a way to do this using private API (not the older screen capture function, but a new faster IO Surface way), but I can't find that right now. In any case, that wouldn't be usable for an App Store application.

A private API is perfect for my needs. I only wanted to use this to make video demonstrations of an app in use. Its something I'd plug-in just to make a video, but it will be removed when the app is deployed. I'd say this would be useful for a lot of app makers who want to make video demos out in public (without an AirPlay server nearby)
