I think it's OT :)
A patched version of ffmpeg, as per these instructions:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/how-to-create-a-screencast-in-ubuntu/
I reduced the framerate somewhat, but otherwise that's what I did.
I think the headers may be corrupted, maybe because I quit with ctrl-c instead of pressing c.
I made this script which allows you to click on the window you want to grab:
#!/bin/bash
xwininfo|perl -e '$_ = join("", <STDIN>); my($x) = /X:\s+(\d+)/s; my($y) = /Y:\s+(\d+)/; my ($w) = /Width:\s+(\d+)/; my ($h) = /Height:\s+(\d+)/; $h++ if $h %2; $w++ if $w %2; system("ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1000 -r 4 -g 300 -vd x11:$x,$y -s ${w}x$h $ARGV[0]\n")' $1
There is made-for-purpose screencast software available but it
coredumped on my laptop and didn't record sound.
Cheers
