Try out the example patch that's included in the last message. After
record is started it uses a bang to turn on the gemhead and to capture
one frame, and then turns it off again. However, the time between the
two frame captures is still recorded even if the gemhead is turned off
e.g. the 20 seconds between two bangs will still be recorded even if
rendering is stopped

Also, stopping recording writes the movie file, and restarting
recording will overwrite the previous file.
