It is really hidden, but it is there :-) Seems though, that xvidcap tend to freeze for me :-/ However, I managed to shot with it one supporting screencast [1] and with subtitleeditor added some subtitle commentary to it (in English and in Czech). In order to position the subtitles correctly you need to pass -ass parameter to mplayer, otherwise all subtitles will be rendered at the bottom of the screen which sometimes overrides the text written in terminal. I used h264 for better compression and mkv to store the subtitles inside the file, but next time I'll use theora ;-) The screencast covers the setting-up sections of the working with git tutorial. I discovered easier ways to set up local branches tracking remote branches and I update the tutorial later today to describe the same steps I used in the screencast. I also shot (and edited) the screencast on newly installed rawhide (install F9 and update via yum with rawhide repo enabled) to better simulate the situation when you have set up nothing but ssh (for usage with FAS) yet. Comments welcome, I'll probably re-shoot it once again with gtk-recordmydesktop, hopefully with less mistakes :-D Martin References: [1] http://mso.fedorapeople.org/screencasts/git%20-%2001%20-% 20setting-up%20the%20repository.mkv
