Probably the easiest thing to do is set up a camcorder in front of the
screen. With the proper lighting you'd get a very good vid.

In woody:

 apt-cache search capture screen
 cgoban - Complete Go board
 scrot - command line screen capture utility
 
 apt-cache show scrot

[...]
 
 Description: command line screen capture utility
 scrot (SCReen shOT) is a simple commandline screen capture
 utility that uses imlib2 to grab and save images. Multiple
 image formats are supported through imlib2's dynamic saver
  modules.
 
maybe you could write a script to execute scrot at certain intervals, and
then build a movie with some other utility (gimp?, some command line utility
I don't remember now?). I haven't used scrot, so I don't know how it works.

Regards,
Victor

you can also use import to capture either the screen or a single widow.
gimp has screen cap facilities too

I've seen a program to record a VNC session to a SWF (Flash) movie. I 
don't think this program is in Debian, but you could take a peek here:

Have a look at xvidcap, its what I use and its excellent! Debs for stable and 
testing/sid are available on this site http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/

Check out the instructional movies on the site to see how it works.

Hope this helps,
RJP
