QTKit Capture API: How to implement video screen recording (as in Quicktime X Player)?

Does the QTKit Capture API support screen recording- i.e., can I specify the current screen output as the input source to record? If so, how?

Quicktime Player X supports screen recording, yet the QTKit Capture API Documentation only mentions capturing from external cameras.

Can you screen record with QuickTime on Mac?

In the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, choose File > New Screen Recording to open Screenshot and display the tools. You can click Options to control what you record—for example, you can set the location where you want to save your screen recording, or include the pointer or clicks in the screen recording.
