Vnc2swf is a cross-platform screen recording tool for ShockWave Flash (swf), Flash Video (flv), MPEG and raw VNCRev and noVNC format.
The noVNC output support is added by TinyLab.org, the VPlayer (Tiny noVNC Player) of Showdesk can replay it.
Here is the Python version, please get more information from its original homepage.

Use raw commands:
$ x11vnc -quiet -cursor -viewonly -bg -localhost -nopw && ./vnc2swf.py -n -o out.swf :0
$ tcpserver -vRHl0 localhost 10000 sh -c 'x11vnc -quiet -bg -nopw -viewonly -localhost -cursor -wait 10 -defer 10 >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo HTTP/1.0 200 OK && echo Content-Type: video/x-flv && echo && ./vnc2swf.py -n -t flv -o -'
Use commands wrapper:
$ tools/record.sh # Record the session
