This is a mode for recording your the screencasts made with ScreencastMode.
The screencast is saved as a ogv-file in the home-directory of the user by default.
You can try it out by loading the file and evaluating the following:
(screencast-record
'("This is the test of the screencast-record" n
"You can check the result in ~/screencast-record-test.ogv")
"screencast-record-test")Screencasts made for this mode can be seen at ScreencastRecordings.
You might want to look at the following two variables, as your screen settings might be different from mine.
screencast-record-fill-column
screencast-record-font
This file requires the following external programs to work:
for recording the emacs window
for fetching the name of the emacs window, and handing it to recordmydesktop
Are there any versions or analogs of these programs for Windows/Cygwin?
Don’t know, but you can use “wink” on Windows, see EmacsScreencasts.
