Is there any homebrew application that lets you record video directly from the screen to a SD card? I ask this mostly because I need to get good screenshots of Wii games, and could really use this.

That's a pretty good idea for an app though, kinda like FRAPS for the Wii. Someone should make it.

A usb gekko plugs into the gamecube memory card slot and has a usb connector to connect to the computer.
there is some software for both pc and wii, i believe but not 100% sure that the wii software side is inside gekko os
Video capturing requires an AMAZING amount of system resources. Ever done any video capturing on the pc? It's one of the few things aside from de-fragging ahd that'll take 100% of your computers resources!
It is IMPOSSIBLE to write wii software to do video capture as the game you'd be capturing needs all of the wii's resources to play properly.
If you want to do video capture you hook your wii up to a pc.

Actually, if you are capturing raw video, the Wii could handle it easily. Your SD card, on the other hand, wouldn't make it out so cleanly. The write cycles are limited, as is the available bandwidth.
Transcoding video, however, would be a little taxing, depending on the codecs used.
To address the thread starter... my question to you is how do you believe video output works?
In order to do what you're talking about, without hooking the GPU, you need external hardware. The Wii itself won't just record the GPU's output.
Instead of a program to record video would it be possible for a program that makes screenshots? There was one on PSP IIRC.

although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support) -

@BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.

If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.

and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
