I don't have a machine fast enough to record video from the desktop at anything greater than about 2 FPS. From what I've seen, the common way to make nethack videos is to record the desktop while playing back a ttyrec file at a certain speed. This doesn't work for me because my machine isn't fast enough to capture the desktop at a reasonable speed.

It seems there should be some VLC plugin or other method of directly converting a ttyrec file to ogg video or another format. 20 minutes of webcrawling hasn't turned up anything. Does anyone know of a solution?

Inspired by this question, I did a quick and dirty hack to IPBT so it saved each frame of ttyrec as a png. I then used mencoder to create videos (without the delays): Scorchgeek's 2h47m ascension and Maud's 2135 turn ascension. --paxed 21:18, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
