Great for simply and quickly making short instruction or educational movies explaining usage of software or presenting web pages live.
Works like a VNC viewer, but records the session (-record) into a file, including the timing information. Then you can play back to check (-play), and transcode into YUV4MPEG2 format (-movie). You can check the resulting YUV4MPEG2 file is correct using mplayer. Then you can transcode the YUV4MPEG2 into Theora, MPEG4 ASP (a.k.a DivX/XviD), WMV, Real Video 10 using transcode or the example Theora encoder.
If you record sound during the session (e. g. with Audacity) then you can feed the .wav file into transcode/Theora encoder and get a file with sound.
stdout pipelining is supported to save disk space and time. The YUV4MPEG2 export code is optimized for speed. Even when transcoding, needs to run under X Window System ($DISPLAY set).
