I find it pretty great that the 20-minute video and various "feature

no audio. On the other hand, I have Macromedia Flash running

Have you tried VLC by any chance? It may not work with the codec that
I've used for this incarnation of the video. I'm not sure, but VLC
plays an awful lot of files.
I am planning to try different codecs to improve compatibility for
Linux users. If I had the money for Sorenson Squeeze, I'd generate
SWFs. Or, if I was using Camtasia on Windows I could likely do it
there as well. Camtasia has other features and is tempting... it's a
pity it's Windows only.
At the moment, I just don't have the time to try and wire up something
like vnc2swf with audio on my Mac.
ffmpeg can transcode to flv, which should be playable anywhere Flash
or VLC are around.
