byzanz

Byzanz is another desktop session recorder along the lines of Istanbul ,Wink and vnc2swf. There are several other such apps but I haven't really tried those. Byzanz is nice since it outputs to a relatively lightweight animated .gif that pretty much any browser understands.



There are no Debian packages for this yet so I had to compile it and I couldn't get any GUI working so I had to call it from the command line. You can get the geometry of the app you want to record with xwininfo and then just substitute those variables on the command line:

./byzanz-record -x 1 -y 49 -w 564 -h 602 -c -d 60 --delay=3 ~/tmp/test.gif
