I'm really enjoying Chris Tyler's "Daily Package" screencast. It's the ideal way of presenting some of this material, and that includes not just graphical interactions but also talking about and showing the use of commandline utilities like "renrot".
I'm especially happy that there's an OggTheora version available.
A minor glitch is that for both the YouTube (.flv) and the Theora version there is apparently a slight lag in voiceover compared to video. I'm aware of the YouTube issue as a known Linux problem, but perhaps it's correctable with the Theora?
Best wishes,

Hi Oisin,
Thanks for your comments on the FDP screencast. The original 1024x768 ogg files are being generated by the Fedora screencasting tools (Istanbul/gtkrecordmydesktop), and the audio splay is present in the original file so it must be coming from those tools.
I'm trying to find a good non-linear editor that works [a] on Fedora [b] with Ogg so that I can both fix the audio and tighten up the presentation, but haven't found anything that's really satisfactory yet. (LiVES is close, but doesn't appear to encode output in Ogg; avidemux doesn't handle ogg input; and I haven't got Cinelerra running yet due to a dependency issue. I'll figure out some workable combination of tools eventually).
All that to say that I'm aware of the problem and working toward a solution -- and any tool suggestions would be appreciated!
-Chris
