Record a video of your page load

[pmeenan]

As of today, you can record a video of what you page looked like while it was loading through WebPagetest. The numbers don't always tell the whole story (and the business guys tend to be more visual anyway) so it has proven very useful for us in understanding what various changes "feel" like.

It's still in a pretty rough state and you can only work with the videos on Windows (they are really avisynth video scripts) but there has been a fair amount of interest in it so I decided to release it as it is while I work on polishing it up more.

The video recording only shows up on the test page if you are logged in so if you don't see it as an option just hop over to the forums page and register/log-in. After you run a test the video will be available for download on the screen shot page of a given test (yeah, it's still pretty rough).

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated (I did say it was still rough, right?)
