Hi,

I'm planning a laboratorial experiment to assess behavior of groups when programming using some tools under study. For that, I'll need to capture their entire screen to disk. Mostly, what will be displayed is code, so I'm not to worried with image quality.

However, it's paramount that the team is not able to stop the recording by accident, and the tool should be rebust enough to hold at least 3h of video. If possible, it would be nice for researchers in other rooms to "watch" the video as it is recording.

Actually, this last requirement reminded me that I could use a VNC recording software, and install a VNC client in each laboratory computer.

Anyway, what is your experience with this? Which software do you recommend?

Thanks.
