Record screen action (capture video) on Android KitKat

Android KitKat provide a new feature to record screen action. The videos on last post "Share A Moment With Someone Special, Disney Blank with Google" were recorded on Nexus 7 (1st generation) running 4.4.2.

The screenrecord command is a shell utility for recording the display of devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and higher. The utility records screen activity to an MPEG-4 file, which you can then download and use as part of a video presentation. This utility is useful for developers who want to create promotional or training videos without using a separate recording device.
