Ubuntu Desktop screen record – XVidCap

February 17th, 2010 ithinkiknowit No comments

In some of my development and training guides, I like to use screen record and then post the videos online. It can show you rather than reading instructions,(as they say a picture says a 1000 words).

In doing so I use Ubuntu alot and find that a simple screen capture tool to use is XVidCap, this can usually be found in the repositories and can be installed.

Quick Tip:

On most of the installations, it has not worked, you press the record button and nothing happens. A solution to this is to add some different libraries, go to the Synaptic Package manger and install the libavcodec-unstripped-52 package, this should hopefully sort out the problem, also there have been reports of disabling the audio (not that I have found this feature yet)

Good luck
