[kepler-dev] recording Ptolemy/Kepler demos

[Laura L. Downey]

I sent Mark a url that referenced several screen cam/screen recording
software apps.  Some are commercial products, some shareware and a few
freeware.  See:  http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/screenrecorders/

I followed the sourceforge.net link but I didn't see a screen recorder
referenced on the site.  Am I missing something?  It looked more like a way
to test code than to actually record anything.

VNC also looks like it only works on Unix and we are thinking here at UNM we
need something to record on a Windows platform.  After all, the Windows
platform is our biggest -- at around an estimated 75-80% of our target user
base.

Does whatever screen recorder we choose have to be open source or freeware
or shareware?

Those subscribed to the ptolemy-hackers list might have seen the
recent request for a screen recording mechanism. Two options mentioned 
were: 
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/abbot
    http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/

Maybe someone wants to check those out. Since some have vnc already
set up, the second one might be particularly easy. 

I think a record workflow composition demo (and others, e.g., workflow 
exectuion) would be fantastic to have, e.g., for those very precious
minutes during presentations (there are a few high-visibility meeting
coming up!). Also for educational purposes this might be very useful. 

Would be great to have some Kepler demo movies on the web...
