Everyone who ever tried to recording his screen on a Linux know, that most of the possible ways sucks because they need so much performance that it’ll be impossible to work as usual if you’re recording. Now I found today a really cool way how to do it so that it don’t need as much performance and also generates small files (Flash Movies).

Now here’s the HowTo:

Step 1:
Get vnc2swf
http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.9.1.tar.gz

Step 2:
Install the libs you need (it shows you which are left)

Step 3:
Install x11vnc

Step 4:
Start a VNC Server with x11vnc and connect to it like this:
python vnc2swf.py -n -o output.swf localhost:0

Step 5:
That’s it -> Enjoy
