According to the webside everyone should make sure that they are using the newer version of xvidcap, i was using the older xcap and it was painful, so thanks for this post. The old versions have a different ui, so they are pretty easy to tell apart.

My workstation is much to slow for xvidcap and also the nice recordmydesktop mentioned. However, detouring over VNC worked out. I used vnc2swf.

Take a look at wink, not OSS but works quite good.

I much prefer recordMyDesktop to xvidcap. rMD has a GTK frontend too (gtk-recordMyDesktop) which works in a similar way to xvidcap. Thanks for the Avidemux though. Kingsley, byzanz is the only desktop recorder I know of that will record to GIF format. You might want to check it out.

Nice guide. XVidCap is too laggy to record gameplay though. Is there a way to record and save it as a gif image?
