2007-02-07 - Filming

Using vnc2swf from http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ to catch the video.

# start vnc server
vncserver :20 -depth 24 -geometry 1150x730 -name COLOPPL
#connect
xtightvncviewer -encodings tight -depth 24 -via coloppl localhost:20
#record
./vnc2swf.py -n -o /tmp/remo.swf localhost:20

# add sound to video and make video ready for viewing (-> do html-file and such; make sure the sound is long enough...)
./edit.py -o /tmp/remo-video-with-sound.swf -t video -a sound.mp3 /tmp/remo.swf

2007-02-07 - Done

Edited the html-file by hand (new filename, css style, infos and loop=false (2 times!)).
