tutorial - Create Screencasts on OpenSuSe with recordMyDesktop

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when you're teaching someone how to do something on a computer, and recordMyDesktop is a great little Linux application for creating screencasts. YouTube is full of recordMyDesktop screencasts showing all kinds of captures, including Compiz in action.

recordMyDesktop is a program that captures audio-video data of a desktop session, producing an ogg-encapsulated theora-vorbis file.

recordMyDesktop tries to be as unobstrusive as possible by processing only regions of the screen that have changed.

The program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way. The frontend comes in two versions. One frontend is written with the gtk toolkit (named gtk-recordMyDesktop) and a more recent one with the Qt toolkit (qt-recordMyDesktop).

recordMyDesktop also offers the ability to record audio through ALSA, OSS or the JACK audio server.

Installation: Use "1-click" installer to install gtkpod
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here

After successful installation go to console and use command: gtk-recordMyDesktop to launch recordMyDesktop application


Running from command line: Hit Ctrl+C to stop recording:

$ recordmydesktop --no-sound -o newtest.ogg
