Need to record the screen - how do i do it?

I originally posted this in a different section but realized this is a better section for this:

Hi,

I am working on a screen capture program to record the screen to a media file (avi/flv/mp4 etc) or transmit the screen across the network for live viewing.

How do i access the display contents? Are there any APIs i should be reading? Any system calls? Please advice.

How would YOU do it?

Limitations:
The project has to be purely C++ and shouldn't use python as do some other projects.

So far I have:
Figured out how to make the GUI using Qt
How to transmit data across a network

I understand this question may be a little broad. I'd appreciate any pointers you can give me on this.

Thanks in advance,

Raja Sekharan
