Screencasttools for Ubuntu

Screenkey

Problems:

  • Does not really work on dual screen environments
  • unstable in 11.10

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
  • direct video upload to e.g. youtube

Tibesti

Very good tool

  • separate audio and video possible
  • record audio out and microphone, or both
  • capture screenarea (in dual screen the left most monitor is used!!!)
  • 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
