I was going to try converting the Acousmographe movies, but the video
conversion software market seems to be a jungle, and I gave up trying to sort
out what was scams from what was real, and what worked from what didn't.
The Flash movie it generates doesn't seem to be a true movie, but is a script
that pans across a still image, so I figured the end results might end up
similar to capturing directly from an audio program.
I was keen to try to use this program so that I could annotate the spectrogram
as you mentioned. However, the text in Acousmographe gets scaled proportionally
with the spectrogram, and the scale I chose makes the text too skinny to be
readable.
I emailed the authors of the program, but I'm not sure if anything will be
done. It's great that the program has an English interface, but I haven't found
any English language support forums out there. I can cope with translating the
manual, but I can't do French web searches.

There are shortcomings to Acousmographe but I've used it for some time. My
original solution was to convert the Flash movie to another format with SWF &
FLV toolkit. Lately I've been using Premiere CS5, I import the FLV file, then
add the original audio. Then output to whatever file format I wish. The
advantage of Acousmographe is one can annotate.
