### Frequently Asked Questions

#### What's the difference between Python version and C version?

Vnc2swf comes with two different implementations:

- Python version (pyvnc2swf):
  - Runs on many platforms, including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows.
  - Has more functions (e.g. editing, adding a seekbar).
  - Is being actively developed.
- C version (vnc2swf):
  - Only runs on platforms which support X11 (i.e. Unix, Linux or Mac OS X).
    NOTE: The latest version no longer needs Ming.
  - Has a vnc viewer.
  - Simple and lightweight.

For both versions, you need to install at least one VNC server:

- XVnc,
- WinVNC,
- TightVNC,
- OSXVnc,
- x11vnc, or
- GNOME Remote Desktop (Vino)

Additionally, for Python version, you need Python and Pygame package. For more information, see pyvnc2swf page.

#### Output movies are garbled!

Several users reported they had a garbled movie when they used ATI binary drivers for the X server. Please switch to the open source one.

#### Could you add this new feature?

Recently I've received lots of feature requests. Unfortunately, some of them are hard to implement because of the nature of this software, including:

- Recording mouse click. (VNC doesn't send mouse click information)
- Recording key stroke. (VNC doesn't send this, too)
- Supporting OGG format instead of MP3. (SWF file doesn't support this.)
