"The graphical frontend offers a nice graphical configuration window, so some may be more comfortable with this one.

"Istanbul - Istanbul is written in Python and it offers a few less features than recordMyDesktop. It allows to select area or window to record, 3D record, enable/disable mouse pointer recording, and choose the size of the video (full, half or quarter width and height). It saves the file as an Ogg Theora video. Again, I had problems with recording sound, I believe I'm doing something wrong here.

"To install in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install istanbul"
