What's It?
Vnc2swf is a screen recording tool for X-Window (X11), Windows and Mac OS Desktop.
Vnc2swf captures the live motion of a screen through
VNC protocol and converts it a
Macromedia Flash(TM) movie (.swf).

Frequently Asked Question
- Q: Why do I need a VNC server?
A:
Screen motion capturing is divided into two parts:
- Convert a live screen image into some portable format.
- Convert the stream of the images into a Flash movie.
Vnc2swf takes the second part of it.
It relys on a separated VNC server for the first part to
capture a screen motion. A VNC server sends it to vnc2swf
via network. This allows us to record various kinds of desktops
with one program. Currently the following VNC servers are supported:
- Q: I'm using Fink on MacOS X and cannot compile vnc2swf.
A: Install the package "ming" and type the following:
./configure --with-ming=/sw
- Q: A recorded movie is somewhat garbled. How can I fix it?
A: See Distributing SWF Files.
