Here is how I create my Linux screencasts. I would like to be able to use just Linux applications, but I find it easier and quick to use Windows.

  • Could the description of this video be updated to indicate that it is outdated?

    It looks like almost 25,000 people have spent almost 8 minutes of their lives learning something which, these days, is a waste of time. Just use a program on your local machine.

  • @megamasha Hi, if you send me your name and address I will refund you the 8 mins you wasted watching the video. I can't unfortunately refund you the time you spent posting a comment. :P

    It does say that the video was added 5 years ago. So people should know it's old, and at the time it was the only way to do a good screen cast and the Linux software at the time was unusable on old hardware.

  • You do realize you can just download a screen capturing program in ubuntu, and that will eliminate the need of another computer. God you are a noob.

  • Do you realize this video was made 3 years ago in 2006, on an old and slow P3. Back then the screen capture programs were not as good for Linux, hence I created videos that way.

    Well done for understanding that.

  • @BinarySignal Awesome, thanks! If you have any other time continuum-bending skills you'd be willing to use on my behalf, let me know!

    I'm not knocking the video as such - it was perfectly good and valid, but these days on any modern computer, you could install and run xvidcap or recordmydesktop and record your screencast in less time than it takes to watch this video.

    Is a popup comment, as youtube allows these days, too much to ask? Just to let people know 8 minutes earlier.

  • Good video with an interesting strategy. In the future, can you make a video detailing how to use a VNC client?

  • @librano

    wel he has an andriod phone. so he TECHNICALLY uses Linux

    ;D

  • @BinarySignal

    lol Hambycomb failed. A LOT

  • You said you were new to Linux? Do you still use Linux? You should make a 2010 version of this if you are...

  • But this is NOT a Linux capture :-)

  • Hold up, Yo yo yo! Binary I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish but....

    xvidcap is fucking garbage! istanbul has one of the greatest screen casting packages of all-time!

    lol

    use 

  • @Hambycomb i dont see the necessity in inslting someone, especially when you dont pay attention to details
