Generate animated GIF with HTML5 canvas

Question

Are they any library to do so?

AFAIK dataToURL('image/gif') isn't supported by any browser

Canvas can't generate (animated) GIFs. You need to use a JavaScript library to do so.

There is jsgif, a JS library to generate animated GIFs: http://github.com/antimatter15/jsgif

https://github.com/spite/ccapture.js/ looks like an easier and better alternative to capture to gif or video.
