[ubuntu-us-mi] screencasting Ubuntu

[Robert Citek]

Has anyone tried screencasting with Ubuntu Linux?

gtk-recordmydesktop works pretty well, but only encodes into ogg
theora, not mpeg nor avi.  Haven't found a way to edit oggs, yet.

xvidcap is pretty buggy: 6% success rate.  I don't know what that
means other than a 30 second screen capture lasts only a couple of
seconds.

Any pointers or recommendations gladly accepted.
