Record OS X screen activity to a Flash movie

vnc2swf does not seem to respect the CLI option for a different display. For example - my vnc is running as display :1 - no matter what I do to run vnc2swf - it always returns error "Can't connect to display 0:0". All other VNCViewers (Chicken of The VNC, etc) can connect and display just fine.

DOES NOT WORK FOR ME
vnc2swf -nowindow -startrecording output.swf localhost:1

Error: Can't open display: :0.0

An output example

However, it doesn't look like it's that great - surely, an MPEG-4 would not only be smaller but less skippy? I guess this is a "poor man's Snapz Pro."

Looks like your DISPLAY environment variable is not set.

Call vnc2swf from the X11 Terminal (xterm) or set the DISPLAY environment variable in your shell to :0.0

tcsh: setenv DISPLAY :0.0
bash: export DISPLAY=:0.0
