Create Screencasts On Linux With RecordMyDesktop
Ever wanted to create a video tutorial in Linux? You have tried every software on the Internet and they do give results but far from good? Check this out, RecordMyDesktop is what you need.
RecordMyDisk
recordmydesktop is pretty simple to use. It has a CLI (command line interface) design but also has a GUI called “the gtk-recordmydesktop".
RecordMyDesktop is an open source software and is available free of cost.
It uses py-gtk and py-qt34 (the python graphics toolkits for windowing) for the front-end and C language for the back-end. The video is saved in ogg format, and the software has support for recording sounds as well.
The recording is fully customizable and the GUI rests on the panel-tray as a record toggle button.
To install recordmydesktop ::
Key in the following code in your terminal
sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop gtk-recordmydesktop
That is pretty much all. You should be able to capture videos of your workstation now. I used it for the first time to capture videos of the compiz effects.
