[Vnc2swf-users] AssertionError limits recording time

[Nitin C. <ni...@ee...>]

Hello,

I am using pyvnc2swf 0.9.2 (from Debian testing) to record lectures in
class (I write on a tablet using Xournal in VNC and record the VNC
session along with audio using the -S option).

After about 30-45 minutes, the program crashes with an error

  File "/usr/share/pyvnc2swf/swf.py", line 784, in newid
    assert self.objid < 65536, 'the number of objects exceeded the limit!'
AssertionError: the number of objects exceeded the limit!

I tried reducing the framerate as suggested in other messages, but
even with a framerate of 3 it still crashed before the end of the
lecture (<50 minutes).

I then tried recording to .vnc format, and it records the whole
lecture, but if I try converting to swf with vnc2swf-edit.py, it again
crashes with the same AssertionError.

One of the previous messages mentioned a maximum of 16000 frames,
which should still give > 5000s at 3fps. Is the above error to do with
frames, or are the VNC changes recorded as objects, which would maybe
make it crash if I wrote too much in one session?

Thanks,

Nitin
