How to record Android device screen(before KitKat) connected to computer via USB?


I have already searched a lot for an answer over the internet such as this question, but didn't found an answer.

I want to record my Android device's screen connected to computer via USB for some kind of automation thing. I found here that Google has created an utility for this but only for versions starting from KitKat.

Are there any other possible utilities or scripts for Windows computer through which I can achieve what I want to do? It should save the resulting video file either on my device or my computer on which it is connected to.

P.S.- I also found that this can be somehow achieved by using javacv library. But i was unable to compile and run all of its sources, so it didn't worked for me until now.
