Screenshot software

I need software that will take timed screenshots somewhere in the order of 10 per second. (The quicker the better)
I can't seem to find anything that can do it. Fraps has a minimum of 1 screen per second, ScreenHunter does also :(
This is for creating animations based on the visual output of other programs.
If anyone can suggest a way to do this other then manually putting screenshots together, that would save me a lot of work.

And I didn't know it had screenshot scripts. Do they take ss of the whole screen, or just what TGE is displaying ?

The screenshots I want to take have nothing to do with torque. And I didn't know it had screenshot scripts. Do they take ss of the whole screen, or just what TGE is displaying ?

If anyone is looking for the code to set up timed shoits here it is:
in common/client/screenshots.cs
add this at the bottom:

Nope. That only takes screenshots of hte Torque window. Won't help much for taking shots of other programs.If anyone is looking for the code to set up timed shoits here it is:
in common/client/screenshots.cs
add this at the bottom:
function toggleTimedScreens(%val)
{
if (%val)
{
$takingTimedShots = ! $takingTimedShots;
takeTimedShot();
}
}
function takeTimedShot()
{
%time = 100;
if($takingTimedShots)
{
doScreenShot(1);
schedule(%time,0,takeTimedShot,%time);
}
}
GlobalActionMap.bind(keyboard, "ctrl l", toggleTimedScreens);

I think you could use fraps + VirtualDub to accomplish this.

I think BasicBob even shipped with a screenshot key bound.

Unsung Zero - That one's even worse. It can only snap a shot every 5 seconds :(

Bzzt - I don't think fraps will work for this. I need to take video of thing slike media player visualizations, and fraps wont record media player.Unsung Zero - That one's even worse. It can only snap a shot every 5 seconds :(
