I guess the ideal material to work with would be a sequence of text 
files. For commands that cause a noticeable delay and for text scrolling 
by, one would also need timing information.

Coupled with a script that takes such input and renders a sequence of 
still images and sub-sequences at the desired FPS.

So for every state of output that is held on screen for a while, you 
have one image that can easily be used for the desired duration in a 
video editor.
