Screencasts part II

After digging around a little more, I found vncrec, which works really well. Quality is good, computer doesn't lag while making the movie,... One major problem: the output format. Nobody can play these files, except if he/she got vncrec installed, which is *nix only.
It should be possible to convert .vnc files to some other format (video) using transcode. I tried this, but when playing the ouput file using mplayer (xvid encoded), I only get green and red noise. Not everyone got an xvid codec installed too, so I might want to use mpeg2 here or something alike. If only I would get a real video, and not just noise...
Transcoding a vnc file takes a lot of time too.

I'll keep you guys posted :-)
