Hi Nasser,
a crude way to doit is to save the created graphics and finally store
them e.g. in AVI format. However, mathematica is awfully fast and
creates a lot of pictures. Therefore, it is best to put a Pause
statement in to slow it down. Here is ane xample:
tmp={};
Manipulate[(AppendTo[tmp,t=Plot[Sin[x^a],{x,.1,1}]];Pause[0.1];t),{a,-1,1}]
Export["d:/tmp/t.avi",tmp]
hope this helps, Daniel
