Cool, just add me to the Wave. :)

Yep, I already put my findings there. Currently I am just trying and
coding, I have yet to start with a UI. I guess it is really something
like Silverback we are after.

Currently I like the Python script way the most because it is insanely
portable and easy to adjust (+ I can’t do anything else right now ;).
Just like Allan Day said earlier:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2009-December/msg00073.html –
I did the test on a clean live USB system.

But I am going to look into Quickly for development the next days. The
performance problems can be beaten by lowering the output video
resolution, but with a compiled app we might get better speeds even at
full quality.

We should do it similar to Silverback: Write all the captured stuff
separately at highest quality to intermediate formats so we can later
export it in any quality & combination we like.
