[Vnc2swf-users] size of SWF files

[Olivier B. <Bon...@in...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to use vnc2swf to record the courses that I give to my 
students. A course is typically composed of two hours of audio and the 
slides are recorded by vnc2swf.

When I use edit.py to record a small test, everything works perfectly 
and I can easily create a SWF file with the audio synchronised to the 
slides.

However, when a use a two hours presentation, edit.py fails.

   File "./edit.py", line 229, in ?
     if __name__ == "__main__": main(sys.argv[1:])
   File "./edit.py", line 224, in main
     mp3seek=mp3seek, mp3skip=mp3skip)
   File "./edit.py", line 82, in reorganize
     builder.build(r)
   File "/usr/local/src/pyvnc2swf-0.8.1/output.py", line 874, in build
     self.stream.next_frame()
   File "/usr/local/src/pyvnc2swf-0.8.1/output.py", line 544, in next_frame
     self.add_object(self.screen.get_image(x0, y0, w, h), depth, x0, y0)
   File "/usr/local/src/pyvnc2swf-0.8.1/output.py", line 511, in add_object
     self.place_object2(self.define_shape(w, h, data), x, y, depth)
   File "/usr/local/src/pyvnc2swf-0.8.1/output.py", line 405, in 
define_shape
     shape_id = self.writer.newid()
   File "/usr/local/src/pyvnc2swf-0.8.1/swf.py", line 428, in newid
     assert self.objid < 65536, 'the number of objects exceeded the limit!'

Apparently, there is a 65536 limit to the number of objects that can be 
created by swf.py. What is the meaning of this magic number ?


Best regards and thanks a lot for vnc2swf,
