>> does anyone on this list know of a decent video recording program?
>> i tried a few, most of them act up when i try some desktop effect,
>> like the desktop cube, very horrible framerate, might reach 1 per 3
>> seconds sometimes.
>> i understand that desktop recording is resource intensive,but still, i
>> think there should be one that can work decentl.
>> what i'm looking for is a program that can shoot the desktop effects
>> properly. the output format is either ogv, some easily convertible
>> codec, or straight away a codec nativel supported by a windows user
>> (the intended receiver of my video), ie, MPEG/AVI/WMV (i doubt there's
>> one that outputs WMV ;-))
>> using Kubuntu Intrepid with KDE 4.2.
>> computer specs: CPU: 3.0 GHz with HT, 1.5G RAM, Video: nVidia GeForce
>> 8500 (1G VRAM), using nvidia's latest driver from their website.
>> hard disk space is not a problem, i can let it store video on a
>> partition with 40 GB space, though i'm only running it for like 20
>> seconds maximum, and i prefer to get a frame rate of at least 10 FPS.
>> thanks for any help :-)
