if we want to show compression:

  • use zstd compression (do not use lz4, which is default anyway)
  • do not use incompressible data, like jpeg images

  • What are the expectations for the video? Do I need to make the replicate entire 6 min video( changing zstd compression) or just demonstrate zstd instead of lz4(only 1:18 part )?
  • Should the terminal also resemble the one as seen in the video?

There is currently some work on automating asciinema videos, see PRs.

The automation has been merged into master (and 1.2-maint), see PR #6197.

The docs of master branch currently show the borg 1.1 demo video, this must be replaced by an automated build of a borg 2.0 demo video before going rc.

BTW a cool project I stumbled upon is https://github.com/k9withabone/autocast, which allows you to automate asciinema's. I created a new issue https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/8040 to track the idea of maybe using it.

Edit: Oh sorry I see it was automated in a different way hmm…
