Zabbix screencasting frenzy

Finally I have found a way to create screencasts in Linux. Within Debian I didn't get it working at all. But under Ubuntu the "Desktop Recorder" (aka gtk-recordmydesktop) finally gave me a working OGG video file. Hooray. The first screencast I have recorded deals with the Zabbix monitoring software. Enjoy.

If you wonder: I have converted the OGV file into an FLV file for playing in the browser using ffmpeg on Ubuntu. Strange enough: the OGV file is 25 MB while the FLV video is 90 MB. I wonder if there is a way to play OGV files directly in the browser. But apparently that's not even decently specified in HTML5. Maybe I should use MP4/H.264? Meh, I suck at web video formats. :(

Nice screencast about Zabbix

Thanks for sharing your experience of Zabbix its very helpful, currently like most of the others we are using Nagios for monitoring our infrastructure however its always nice to learn about news Open Source monitoring systems.
