Using vnc2swf.py on Linux

Language : English Quality : High Has Audio : true Source : showmedo Media : Flash
Matt Harrison shows how to start and record from a VNC server using vnc2swf.py. vncviewer is invoked to view the session and inside this session IPython is used to list some Python code. Finally vnc2swf.py is finished and an output file is written.

Note:No audio, video only. This might benefit from an audio dub and a touch of editing at the start, if somebody is interested?
