Recent commentsVideo training tool for linux.. at last!
Though xvidcap is still in a beta mode, it is a great start towards enabling teachers and trainers to capture video screen captures of linux desktop environments.
I'm really enjoying xvidcap and, though xvidcap is not a polished app., it is useful and well worth the few minutes it will take you to sort out its ways and wherefores. Create movies of your linux desktop and share the wealth of OpenSource with your friends, family, clients, employers, employees!
