        Does anyone have a way to capture animated images created by
        BlackBox in some format that can then be posted to YouTube?

A product that many seem to use as a general (i.e. not just Blackbox) way of
capturing animated images on Windows systems is Techsmith's Camtasia. A new,
simpler, entry-level product by the same company is Jing:

http://www.jingproject.com

The free version creates Flash SWF videos. The $14.95 p.a. Pro version
supposedly allows you to create videos that you can upload to YouTube.

This is something I've wanted to do for a while myself so I've just
installed Jing to try it out. I managed to record a few seconds of a
Blackbox clock running without too much difficulty. I installed it on
Windows 7 so I didn't have to download the huge (200+ MB?) .NET 3.0 runtime
that is needed on Windows XP.

The video ran OK in Internet Explorer on Windows 7 (after I installed v10
FlashPlayer) but for some reason I can't get FlashPlayer working on Windows
XP. If you want to see if you can view the results you can download the 400k
Flash video SWF file from:
