Thanks so much Yusuke, your efforts in py2vnc are certainly greater than 
mine!

Yes I know it can be a fair amount to test, but if its not just 
developers using the code, its even more work for them to get it running...
Since I'm not likely to understand the core code any better than you, 
but have done a few fixes and can test on Linux and Windows, I'd be 
happy to package it
My sourceforge id is davidfraser

[Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf-0.9.0 is out

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hello-

Finally I had a time to gather all the patches and bug fixes and
wrap up for the new version. Please download and try it:

http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.9.0.tar.gz   (tar, 63k)
http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/pyvnc2swf-0.9.0.zip   (zip, 75k)


Changes:

 * A big change to the GUI. Now you can start recoding immediately
   without giving the filename, and save it later on. When you discard
   the recorded session, it asks you confirmation.

 * From now on, a password file *must* be encrypted by vncpasswd. 
   Specifying ~/.vnc/passwd file directly is also allowed so that
   you don't have to type passwords again and again.

 * I fixed the Pymedia-related bugs and mp3 bugs (hopefully).

 * I applied Luis' patch that disables scaling by default.


I'm wonrding if I missed something. And the test is still
incomplete, so if you find any problem please tell to the
list. Thank you.

Yusuke

Hi David,

Sorry, I haven't noticed this message sent to the list way before
(yes, I was very busy at that time). I know this is an outdated
reply, but let me answer because I really appreciate your efforts.

This is great. I was planning this for long time and couldn't make
it, partly because I'm not familiar with Windows. But at the same
time I have concerns about the time we might have to spend for all
this packaging stuff. They're definitely convenient for end users,
but I'm afraid that it's taking so much time to prepare, because
even now, it's already becoming difficult to test all the possiblities
after adding a new function.

In fact, I don't like much of the idea of installing something on
my pc.  Instead, I just want to download a binary, double click it
to run, and throw away when it's unnecesary. This is the reason
why I didn't want to bring setup.py into the main pyvnc2swf
source. I'd like to separate the code development and its
distribution, otherwise sooner or later I will be unable to follow
its complexity by myself.  I'm simply afraid of this project
getting out of my hand.

That's said, if you're familiar with those stuff (looks like you
are) and willing to take care of them, I'm happy to get you cvs commit

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] password file

[Matthew T. <ths...@ho...>]

Thank you!
Until the next update I have worked out a solution.
I use vncpasswd.exe to create a password file, using random characters as 
password. Something like %^(w!&#z. The vncpasswd.exe creates an encrypted 
password file based off %^(w!&#z. The new encrypted output is what I use for 
the password file, and is the password I use for VNC remote connections.

The above does two things
1. If the password file is found the data inside is garbled, and its not 
apparent that its a working password.
2. if a user tries to remotely discover the password via registry, the code 
that is found will not work to log into vnc. The only pass that will work is 
the one in the password file.

For the clients that are allowed to connect, they are given a vnc connection 
session file. This automatically connects them so they dont have to enter or 
remember a complex password.

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] password file

[Yusuke S. <yu...@cs...>]

Hi,

No, currently a passwd file is supposed to be a plain text, as I
expected that people always set up a local Vnc server only for
recording. But I understand your concern so I'll get this
encrypted in the next version.

Thanks
Yusuke

[Vnc2swf-users] password file

[Matthew T. <ths...@ho...>]

Hi, I posted this but did not see it on the archive list. Sorry if I'm 
double posting.


Hello

I am trying to use the command line options to start a recording. Below is
the command and switches I am using.

vnc2swf.py -n -o c:\NameOfFlash.swf -t video -P PasswordFile 127.0.0.1 5900

The issue is with the password file. I'm not sure it works with windows as
the only way I can get it to work is if I use a plain text password file.
I tried to use a program called vncpasswd.exe that comes with a oss project
called vnc2snapshot.
The Vncpasswd does create a file with the password encrypted but if I use
that vnc2swf does not connect. The only way I can get the above command to
work is if I create the password file in plain text.

I would really like to get it working using the encrypted password file as
its better security.

Does the password file work in windows like it does in linux?

Thanks

[Vnc2swf-users] I have one more fix for mpeg generation ...

[alf <les...@ya...>]

Hi,

I tried to generate mpeg video clip out of the swf but the result was 
not very good. It looked like old fashioned movie with blinking picture 
frames.

I dug into pymedia a little and was able to fix  it by replacing 
following code:

##       params = {
##         'frame_rate_base': 125,
##         'deinterlace': 0,
##         'height': self.screen.out_height,
##         'width': self.screen.out_width,
##         'id': vcodec.getCodecID(self.mpeg_codec),
##         'format': vcodec.formats.PIX_FMT_YUV420P
##       }
##       params['frame_rate'] = int(params['frame_rate_base'] * self.info.framerate)
      params = {
        'type': 0,
        'gop_size': 12,
        'frame_rate_base': 125,
        'max_b_frames': 0,
        'height': self.screen.out_height,
        'width': self.screen.out_width,
        'frame_rate': 2997,
        'deinterlace': 0,
        'id':  vcodec.getCodecID(self.mpeg_codec),
        'format': vcodec.formats.PIX_FMT_YUV420P
      }


in output.py. Again I use python2.4 and the latest pymedia/pygame libs.

The solution is not perfect as the mpeg players show the movie length in 
thousands seconds instead of minutes.


I will wrap up all my fixes/improvements and post it a week or so. First 
I have to finish my screen casts :-) ...

Re: [Vnc2swf-users] ffmpeg -f swf

[Olivier J. <oja...@gm...>]

Hi,

I used to use ffmpeg a lot to create flv (video) and swf (shapes).
While it is great for source files that are videos, it produces mixed
results with screen capture. Quality is not so good and degrades over time.

vnc2swf has a far better quality when capturing what goes on on a screen.

Olivier.

[Vnc2swf-users] ffmpeg -f swf

[alf <les...@ya...>]

Hi Yusuke,

one more thing - it is more FWIW but also a question:
    I found out that  ffmpeg can create swf on its own. I wonder did you 
have a chance to play with that and if yes, what results it gave.

thx, alf

Sounds cool. I already have some synchronized voice recording, which 
presumably overlaps with yours

Yes please do. This of course underlines the importance of gathering and 
including these patches into version control.
Yusuke, would this be possible? Hopefully before you have finished your 
patches...

[Vnc2swf-users] synchronized voice recording and recording mouse click - done

[alf <les...@ya...>]

Hi,

I just finished some other improvements I needed for my project:
    -synchronized voice recording
    -synchronized mouse/keyboard events collection to make them audible 
in the final swf


In the GUI version of vnc2swf I added some code which creates two 
additional files - one containing mp3 recorded sound and another which 
stores (for now M$ only) time lined information about clicks and 
keyboard presses. One thing left to do is the merging clicks in the mp3 
itself.

Implementation details:

-voice recording - piece of cake when pymedia used
-key strokes/mouse clicks - pyHook does it in a few lines of the code

If anyone is interested, I will publish my patches.


Thx,
alf

Ok, here's the distiction...

Shape:
	pros: compatible with older Flash player (ver.5), faster encoding
	cons: larger filesize, sometime getting slow to playback.

Video:
	pros: smaller filesize, stable playback speed.
	cons: only supported Flash ver.7 or newer, slower encoding.
	      (not suitable for on-the-fly encoding)

But recently most Flash players are ver.7 or newer, 
so I recommend to record as Shape first, then convert to Video.

[Vnc2swf-users] error

[Chris T. <Chr...@pg...>]

Hi there....
I have installed pyvnc2swf on a Linux box running Fedora Core3 and with
Falsh and Python installed. I am able to start the program but when I
select 'start' I get an error message 111. Do you know why this might
be?
=20
I also need to record sound whilst recording the movie. It appears that
this has to be recorded seperately and then merged in, is this correct?
How would you suggets making sure that the movie and sound are in sinc
with eachother?
=20
Thanks,

[Vnc2swf-users] pyvnc2swf feedback, fix and improvements proposal

[Andy L. <les...@ya...>]

Hi,

First of all thx for a great idea and implementation.
I am about to make some sreencast soon and your
pyvnc2swf came handy totally unexpectedly. I enjoy it
even more as I work on large Python software
development. I have a question, error/fix report and
some improvement ideas. But first for the record
versions of software I use :

$ pwd
/cygdrive/d/pyvnc2swf-0.8.2
$ python24
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import pymedia
>>> pymedia.__version__
'1.3.7.0'
>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.__version__
'1.7.1release'


1) Question: I can not find out what is the difference
between SWF/Shape SWF/Video. I would like to ask you
to point me at some docs explaining the difference. 

2) Fix. I tried to export my SWF to MPEG and edit.py
was crashing. After some investigation I realized that
a bug is here:

$ diff output.py~ output.py
758c758
<       self.out_file.write(encFrame)
---
>       self.out_file.write(encFrame.data)

There is a significant improvement but produced MPEG2
is large and blinks


3) Improvement proposal. The '-s scaling' option is
very infeasible for MPEG since it multiplies the
source resolution by the float point number factor and
it is hard to get the destination resolution meeting
the MPEG req (like divisible by 2). Having an option
-r resolution would really help.


4) Improvement with ad hoc fix. I use the GUI/Tk
version to screencast short but frequent clips. It is
cumbersome to enter the password and select a new file
every time. So I adds a piece of code keeping the
password and numbering the file. Here it is:

$ diff  vnc2swf.py~  vnc2swf.py
66a67
> password=None
87c88,90
