If you'd like to use a slightly modified version of 'screencast.sh' with some command line options added, checkout 'screencast'.
To obtain the file 'screencast', in a cros shell (crosh) do:
curl -Lk --connect-timeout 60 -m 300 --retry 2 "https://gist.github.com/DennisLfromGA/8441689/download" | ~tar -xzO > /Downloads/screencast
