1) Gain screenshots at a regular rate (FPS), and store them as images (JPEG would be easiest). For getting the screenshots, use [Robot.createScreenCapture(Rectangle)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html#createScreenCapture(java.awt.Rectangle)]. For saving the images, look to the [ImageIO.write()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageIO.html#write(java.awt.image.RenderedImage,%20java.lang.String,%20java.io.File)] variants. After you get the idea of just how unworkable a 'screen size' animation is, you might also look to scale the images before saving them. ;-)
2) Access (and store) the sound passing through the system.
Ironically, the second is much more tricky than the first. It is not the 'storing' that is a problem, so much as even detecting sound using JavaSound.
Once you have achieved all that, it is a matter of turning the JPEGs into a MOV, then adding the soundtrack.
Note that this is a relatively advanced project. From the little I know of you, I strongly recommend putting it aside for six months to a year, as you become more familiar with the language and APIs.
