Hello Rustom,

You could try running gnome-session. Seems to work for other people:
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xephyr.html

The problem with running multiple Gnome sessions as the same user is
that Gnome wants to start a lot of Gnome related services and this can
cause weird behavior. That's why I use a minimal window manager myself
as the host in which I run Xephyr.

And for ffmpeg to support h.264 you have to compile it yourself as most
distro's do not ship ffmpeg with support for h.264.

Best,

Jeremy
