how to record the screen

I changed the resolution ot the Windows VM to 640x480 and added this to the start of the script

Sleep(2000)
Run("C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\bin\ffmpeg.exe -f gdigrab -framerate 10 -i desktop output.mkv", A_ScriptDir)
WinWait("ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass ahk_exe ffmpeg.exe")
WinMinimize("ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass ahk_exe ffmpeg.exe")
WinWait("DataGridView test")
WinMove(10,100,,,"DataGridView test")
Sleep(1000)

The screen region options for gdigrab with -i desktop wouldn't work for me, so I then created a gif with something like below. It crops the video to a region, with frames from 2 seconds up to 22 seconds, creates a pallet and optimizes the gif.

ffmpeg -i output.mkv -ss 2 -to 22 -vf "fps=10,crop=400:300:0:50,scale=400:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0 datagridview.gif
mogrify -layers optimize -fuzz 10% datagridview.gif
rm output.mkv

there are probably better ways to do it though
