One option:
You go and start a VNC server (locally), connect vnc2swf or vncrec or
whatever with that VNC server, accept the little window opening and just
launch the whole environment you want to make the movie of on the VNC
server, meaning that you'll see it inside vnc2swfs window.

The other option:
You try hunting down xOrfbserver, which might turn out to be a
challenge, at least if you are looking for sources. However, there are
some 0.6.1 rpm packages of RFB lurking around in the net, you can find
them through google and they include xorfbserver.

(If anyone can point out where to find its homepage and sources that
would be great, since www.hexonet.de is gone and www.hexonet.net seems
not to host the files.)

Read "man ImageMagick" and "man convert".
