Screencast tools for Ubuntu

Recording Software

Tibesti

Very good tool

  • separate audio and video possible
  • record audio out and microphone, or both
  • capture screen area
  • Problem selection of the screen area in dual screen mode. The left most monitor is used and changes for selection to the main monitor. If the main monitor is smaller than the second one, you won't be able to select an appropriate area!
  • record delay adjustable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ackondro/tibesti

On Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) change the sources.list to natty

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ackondro-tibesti-oneiric.list

#deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu oneiric main
#deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu oneiric main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu natty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu natty main

Now install

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tibesti

gtkRecordMyDesktop

Very mature and stable tool.

sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop

Fetures:

  • Audio and video-capture
  • Choose screenareo
  • Saves only as ogv

Youtube upload: you have to convert the files using ffmpeg. I am using this nautilus script:

Kazam

See: Kazam on Launchpad

  • Only fullscreen recording
  • Supports dual display mode
  • direct video upload to e.g. youtube

Show typing and mouse on screen

Keymon

The classic key-mon tool. Just works. Simple, but effektive.

sudo apt-get install keymon

Start with:

key-mon

Screenkey

Inspired from keymon, a modern version.print screen shwon event

Problems:

  • Does not really work on dual screen environments becaus it spreads above both screens (nvidia twinview)
  • unstable in 11.10
