Thanks Robin for your answer. Let me take your points in reverse order
I believe that my getting the ffmpeg from debian-multimedia this issue
has been solved
I dont get all this :-) All I know is I am using gnome which sometimes
seems to be using metacity.
Can I replace xsession by metacity?
What GNU/Linux distribution are you using?
debian unstable
2. It says get an ffmpeg with h.264 -- where/how
to get?
Most distributions ship ffmpeg with x264 enabled these days, although
there are some http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html considerations. So some don't.
You can always compile it from source, but due to the large amount of
dependencies and configuration options that is only to be taken as last
resort.

1. It says xsession wont work in gnome -- any alternatives?
It's a capital X in Xsession. But you can just use any windowmanager
instead of Xsession. after the `export DISPLAY=:2` just launch wm2,
xfwm, fluxbox, ion3, icewm, openbox,... whatever.
