Video grab using ffmpeg?

Does anyone know how to grab video (screen) on Terminal using ffmpeg (not X11).

I have written a unix library and I'd like to make a short movie (demo) of it.

Tried: I already own SNapz Pro2 but it hangs the system (I have an old Powerbook 15" PPC). I guess my system is too slow for version 2.

I have tried some sharewares too, am in no mood of buying new stuff if i can use ffmpeg. ScreenFlick is good but puts a watermark. The resultant file for a full screen 2 minute or so movie is only 1-2 MB which is great.

Screen Movie Recorder also made a good demo movie (mov format) but its a 4 GB file.

The ffmpeg howto gives commands for video grab on X11, btw.

XtUngrabPointer()														 XtUngrabPointer()

Name
  XtUngrabPointer - release an active pointer grab.

Synopsis
  void XtUngrabPointer(widget, time)
	   Widget widget;
	   Time time;

Inputs
  widget    Specifies the widget which has the active pointer grab.

  time	    Specifies the time at which the grab should end.  CurrentTime is acceptable.

Availability
  Release 4 and later.

Description
  XtUngrabPointer() releases an active pointer grab by calling XUngrabPointer() with the display of w and time.

  The  time  argument may be a timestamp or the constant CurrentTime.  If this time is earlier than the last-keyboard-grab time or later than
  the current server time the keyboard will not be ungrabbed.

  See XtGrabPointer() for more information on active pointer grabs.

Usage
  Most applications will never have to issue a pointer grab.  Note that the pointer is automatically grabbed between every button down	event
  and the corresponding button up event; this covers the case for which pointer grabs are most commonly needed.
