I saw a brief reference to MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group), which was
defining a standard for digital motion pictures.  The technique that
they were using was to do differences in the frames.  This would work 
well for the application that I would like.  Realtime capture and playback
of a complete screen.

For those familiar with Unix, there is a "script" command which records all
output to a file.  Greatly extending that concept, I am looking for
applications which would record the output to the screen, which could be 
"played back".  I have posted to these groups before, and many have 
mailed many suggestions which don't quite fit my need.  (Nevertheless,
thank you to all who have responded previously.)

The closest applications to date are Digital Film(tm) by SuperMAC(tm) for 
the Macintosh(tm).  Digital Film uses JPEG compression for highest quality images.  
I may be recording 1/2 hour demonstatrations, and file sizes could be prohibitive
even with compression.  The other option which comes close for X11 is
X/Studio (tm) by Performance Awareness (tm).  I am trying to get a copy
of X/Studio for evaluation.  

MPEG sounds like it might have promise. What do people know about MPEG
applications.

Thanks for your help.
