Subject: linux apps that can record your desktop/ make a movie out of it
Hi all,
Doesn anybody know any linux apps that can record things like
mouse movements and all the things you're doing on the desktop and can
output an mpeg clip out of it?
I want to record my desktop and show people all the cool apps I have at
the moment via an mpeg clip. i.e make a movie out of it. Thanks.
With kind regards,
Didier.
I've been helping a german guy called Karl make some FC1 rpm's for his
xvidcap/gvidcap program. It allows you to capture a predefined portion of the desktop and
output it as one of a few various movie formats or as a timed sequence of images you can
later convert with the imagemagick tools to an animated gif or mng file. You can find it
at
http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
Personally I found it great to capture movies of my simulations to use in presentations.
Cheers,
Daniel.
