recordMyDesktop
 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.
Features include:
- On the fly encoding
- Encode the audio-video data while recording
- Disable compression
- Quick subsampling
- Configurable capture rate
- Produces files in open formats: Theora and vorbis
- Directly interface with the ALSA or OSS sound system, or
the software can connect to the recording port via the Jack audio
server
- Configurable, global shortcuts
