Hey!

Chris (ifore2d) - what software do you use for your screen recordings? Because fraps (under windows 8) turns off the recording everytime I switch between design and simulation... Makes for many tiny films...

/m

I use ffmpeg on Linux. There is a switch, called x11grab I think, which lets you specify an area of the screen to use as the video input stream. It is quite the pain in the butt to get set up (I compiled myself), but works really well and is free. It also compresses on the fly, so the moment I stop recording I have a .mkv video file ready to upload to YouTube.
This video helped me to get started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNz5Lrc06_s

If you can use remote desktop to do everything, you could probably avoid the recording being switched off problem (I think that might be because the OpenGL context is changing when the active window changes, since fraps hooks into OpenGL iirc). For my videos where I'm using Mac, I am using it over VNC - it's a little laggy at times but not too bad, over wired LAN at least.

Thanks for the info! Recording via VNC - creative indeed!
