Yes, I googled trying not to be clever and asked: "How to record my desktop using Linux" but this brought up the recordmydesktop application. I thought there must be more ways, knowing of xvidcap but not remembering ffmpeg. At which point I thought, better ask the 'oracle' of all knowledge and posted in this M/L. A good keyword for a google search would have been "capture", but after a long day of bashing the keyboard I was pretty brain dead to come up with it! O_O Ditto for "screencast". All I could think at the time was I want to make a video of screenshots, or I want to record desktop events, none of which gave me a satisfactory answer. -- Regards, Mick
