WebLinux in 720p

Archived page — a fixed-size WebLinux frame for screen recording

Archived page. It embedded WebLinux in a 1280×720 frame, so that screencasts recorded for the MOOCs would always come out at exactly 720p rather than at whatever size the browser window happened to be.

The original file is still served at its historical address, weblinux720p.html, because an older site still links to it.

A small trick, but a useful one: when you record dozens of video tutorials over two years, with several people in two countries, having every capture land at the same resolution saves a considerable amount of post-production.

The tool itself is described on the Codecast, Taskgrader and WebLinux page. The embedded instance used to point at remisharrock.github.io/sysbuild.
