If I understand your problem correctly, there are lots of ways to do this, but nothing that is easy and portable. If you haven't already seen these, they are worth a look.
"Screen Capture: Recording Java Apps" http://javagraphics.blogspot.com/2008/06/screen-capture-recording-java-apps.html "Screencast-O-Matic" http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ If you are willing to sacrifice speed for complexity or portability, you can directly use the native peer instead of java.awt.Robot. The native peers are much, much faster. In theory, the entire Java graphics toolkit should be pluggable, so that you could just use a toolkit implementation that provided streaming and deferred to the real toolkit for rendering. In practice, this is a huge job that isn't well modularized from the rest of the JRE, although there has been some progress in Java 7. Windows supports the concept of a video mirror driver which is exploited by some versions of VNC. There are probably similar facilities available for other operating systems, but I don't know of anything with Java bindings.
