    Sceencast for kubuntu

    Hi,

    I want to use a desktop recorder for my kubuntu but I didn't find any suitable one for me, because I want a recorder generates small size records (just like instant demo).
    could you please help me?

    I tested the following software but they didn't fit my needs:
    recordmydesktop, xvidcap, istanbul, kazam & recorditnow

    I found byzanz most suitable for me although it doesn't support sound for small size records (gif format), but in case there are no alternative to instantdemo in Linux
    how can I use byzanz in KDE without need to open the terminal (I prefer GUI softwares)?

    Well, there is one nice program, but unfortanetly, it's GNOME only But if you don't care about that, than here it is: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/try-k...plication.html

    Edit: Never mind. I'm sorry for misreading your post. You already tried it. In that case, I dunno of any alternatives except for recormydesktop, which you also tried.

        I personally never had much luck with GUI apps for this.....but if you have ffmpeg installed then something like this should work

        Code:
        ffmpeg -r 30 -s 1024x768 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -f oss -i /dev/dsp -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -qscale 2 filename.avi

          Vinny,

          wow!!! That is so cool. I've already made an alias in my .bashrc for that line.

          And, sorry to hijack but the resulting avi file is huge. Have you got another quick CLI command to compress it?

            ffmpeg doesn't solve the issue because it's not suitable for small size screenscasts, it's just like any traditional recorder (records full frames) where instantdemo or byzanz/gif records backgrounds with differences of them for that you'll find screencast size very small by comparing with any encoding.
