Hmm. Did you find that reduced the size?

Ho does it compare with simply using gzip on the vnc recording.

I ask because mplayer which knows how to extract videos from sf, doesn't

seem to know about the vnc format. - and I won't have flash installed on

my desktop, so I can't watch the screencasts on the site.

If the size of the raw .vnc files is and issue, I wonder what gzip would

do.
