Are you thinking of the SLIME movie that's been getting rave reviews? (it's about an hour and rather in depth) http://bc.tech.coop/blog/050728.html (for those without bittorrent here's the 149 meg mov file: http://common-lisp.net/movies/slime.mov) Or just something shorter? In the case of the above movie I don't know how it was made, but there is a flash demo of SLIME made using vnc here (which I can't play on my work computer so I have no idea if it's any good): http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/slime.html I've never tried the software used for this (http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ and http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/edit_vnc2swf.html) so I can't comment on it. Apparently there also exists the program wink (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/) which is a free download but not open source. Also for Linux there is xvidcap (http://xvidcap.sf.net) which will produce mpeg files. There are movies that have been made of the new e17 environment using xvidcap - based on a comment from the e17 author xvidcap isn't great for smooth motion capture but I think for what we will be using it for it would work fine. I think this is one of them (not sure how avi conversion was done): http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17_movie-02.avi Not sure how to actually use xvidcap - normally I don't do much with video on Linux. Also I don't know anything about recording audio. Cheers, CY __________________________________ Yahoo!
