Hi. I need to create an avi movie from what I render, in my program I don't use the Present() method nor open a window because I don't need to show the output to the screen, I need to save it to an avi file. so I save the backbuffer to an avi file, and my question is: is it ok to take the backbuffer data and save it to a surface or maybe the data there is not so stable or something like that ?? Thanks

There isnt any problem, right now im doing exactly this, just create a texture that can store your backbuffer, get your backbuffer with a mono type and use D3DXLoadSurfaceFromSurface, then save your texture.
