fix demo video / screencast #6303

Description

@ThomasWaldmann

https://chaos.social/@sindastra/107792763024290251 see thread

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?

    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 #8040 to track the idea of maybe using it.

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