I wanted to do something similar, but found that pyvnc2swf takes way too
much CPU time.  Instead, I tried running vncrec and piping the output to
gzip.  It uses about 80 times less CPU cycles than pyvnc2swf!  I also found
that "gzip -9" is both stronger compression AND less CPU time than "bzip
-1".

Since my goal was to use the recordings as logs, not for frequent playback,
it doesn't bother me too much that the files I have are raw VNC streams, and
would benefit from running through pyvnc2swf for playback (a tedious
process, but only for use on rare occations).

To get vncrec working as a script, I had to modify it a bit:

As for your audio issue, I can't help... I'm recording from VMs that don't
have sound cards and never had any audio issues.
