Are Ogg Theora and MPEG4 the best codecs for screen grabs?   Flash can
use a codec called Screen Video Format which is designed for compressing
screen captures.

http://butterfeet.org/blog/?p=10 is a blog post about Xideo, which uses
Damage to grab the screen regions as they change and encodes them into a
Flash file with an embedded SVF stream.  There is an example stream, as
SVG is lossless you will notice how sharp the movie is.
