Creating Screencasts in Linux
by Dennis Nienhüser

Recording screencasts and post-processing them for publishing on sites like YouTube or as HTML5 videos was a tedious and error-prone task for me up until some months ago: Recording software like recordMyDesktop, istanbul or xvidcap didn’t produce good results, if working at all. Video editors like avidemux, cinelerra, kdenlive or kino were lacking important features, had a cumbersome user interface or crashed in the twinkling of an eye.

Fortunately things changed when I discovered that ffmpeg works great for taking raw screencasts and when kdenlive 0.8.2 was released...

Lots of instructions for FFMPEG with X11grab (as well as other methods) here:
