I don't think the distro makes a lot of difference. By way of
application software: Have you tried "vlc" (videlan) "mencoder"
(mplayer), or any of the several vnc based recorders such as 
pyvnc2swf?

The main difference between distros is how sysadmin tasks are handled,
avalable software does not differ to the same extent.
