is it possible to capture what's going on in an android screen as video, either on the device itself or the emulator?

You could use one of the many screencast webapps - I personally use http://screenr.com/ and http://www.screentoaster.com/ - they're both quite easy to use and work under win, osx and linux. Screentoaster support uploading to youtube too. It's possible to confine the recording area so that it just captures the emulator's display.

The only downside is that I haven't been able to find a screencast webapp that hides the mouse cursor.

Edit: Apparently ScreenR is osx and win only.
