When you need to demonstrate your desktop activities to someone else, using a screencast (i.e., recording of desktop screen) is far more effective than a textual tutorial or a bunch of static images. For a video tutorial, sometimes you may want to record a particular area of the desktop (e.g., one GUI window), instead of the entire desktop screen. One way to create a screencast of a particular area of the desktop is by using recordMyDesktop.
