Not sure, it'd be quite helpful because taking what looks like an easy way
out:
   Xvfb :1 &
   export DISPLAY=:1
   vncrec -record - ip.ad.dre.ss:0 -shared -viewonly -encodings raw | gzip
-c9 > logfile.vnc.gz
means that the script needs to be smart enough to find a unique (available)
display number for each simultaneous instance.  Cutting the X11 requirement
out of vncrec would make scripting much easier.

Also, how complicated would it be to revise this to use a stream based

I suspect it's doable, but I haven't looked into that either... I don't know
Python, so that'd slow me down a bit.

If you do manage to make that enhancement, that'd be cool.  Although I've
since changed jobs and no longer have need for vncrec at all, but others may
find it quite helpful.
