Make Screencasts in Ubuntu with gtk-recordmydesktop

May 30, 2009 6 Comments

Yeah, the name sounds cliche but man oh man is this app slick. Compared to some of the others I tried, this one _just_worked_ and had the options I needed, plus more.

sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop

You can select a specific window or an arbitrary area and it compresses to ogv automatically.

Here’s a quick video I recorded in seconds — http://z.nexuizninjaz.com/videos/nst.ogv

Istanbul crashed when I tried to run it? This felt a lot more solid.
