I have used RecordMyDesktop. The problem is the size of the file that is
created. >60 meg in my case. I could not figure out how both you and Paul
were able to produce screencast with very small sizes compared to what I was
getting.

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.

Vlc (http://www.videolan.org/) can play most video formats including flv.

Paul,
Can I assume using vnc2swf allowed you lower the file size?

I don't recall doing anything explicit to affect the file size.

Has any of you used the free, no-download, cross-platform ScreenToaster?
Its been on my todo list to check out - haven't found the time to try it
yet.
Looks impressive.
