Export to asciinema video

[Jonathan-Zollinger]

Itd be nice imo to be able to export VHS tape as asciinema videos since these videos can be played in the terminal. I feel it has some great potential for tui integrations, embracing asciinema compatibility

Seconded, but note this is a heavier lift, as we can't just include an asciinema library, asciinema is a python application. Would require writing a new version of asciinema in go to pull from.

woof, that's a big undertaking.

I see there's a really old golang branch in asciinema's repo. it's not compatible with the current golang version - I'm new to Go, but what better way to learn than throwing yourself head first into foreign code that doesn't work?

This is a really interesting idea. I agree it would be great to have an output option that can be viewed in the terminal 💭

I don't think it would be that hard to provide asciinema outpout since the format specification is pretty straightforward -> https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/blob/develop/doc/asciicast-v2.md

I'd do it myself, but I'm not so familiar (yet) with the vhs codebase.
