ah, but the article said it's better to use Xephyr so youtube doesn't
do resolution conversions... Mind if I add another section to the wiki
with a simpler script without Xephyr? (basically yours, but with -i 0:0
instead of -i :2 ... you know so someone searching for this can find a
quick answer without having to loose too much time understanding what
is ffmpeg and what is xephyr)
