“Alot of people ask me the easiest way to record their
experiences while using Ubuntu. You can do this several ways but
using an application named recordMyDesktop seems to be the most
popular method. This video tutorial will show you how to install
recordMyDesktop, create a video in .ogv format, and convert it to
an .avi.“recordMyDesktop is available in the Ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu Software
Center and is just a few clicks away from being installed on your
machine. Once installed you’ll find recordMyDesktop has a simple,
easy-to-use interface and allows you to record specific windows or
custom areas of your screen using the screen preview thumbnail and
change video and sound quality using the slider bars.
recordMyDesktop will create .ogv files when you record your
desktop.”
