I'm afraid that so far I've had no success with this at all.
First I tried the recommended Simple Screen Recorder, only this doesn't appear
in the debian testing repos, so I tried to compile it, making sure I had all
the headers installed. However it failed at the configure stage with:
checking for libavformat/avformat.h... yes
checking for av_guess_format in -lavformat... no
configure: error: required library missing
However, in /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h
we have:
/**
* Return the output format in the list of registered output formats
* which best matches the provided parameters, or return NULL if
* there is no match.
*
* @param short_name if non-NULL checks if short_name matches with the
* names of the registered formats
* @param filename if non-NULL checks if filename terminates with the
* extensions of the registered formats
* @param mime_type if non-NULL checks if mime_type matches with the
* MIME type of the registered formats
*/
AVOutputFormat *av_guess_format(const char *short_name,
const char *filename,
const char *mime_type);
RecordMyDesktop doesn't seem to like my screen resolution, although the error
message it gives is somewhat confusing. The popup window says 'improper window
specification', but in the error log I get:
#recordMyDesktop stderror output:
Window size specification out of bounds!(current resolution:1920x1080)
The actual window size was 720 x 530, and I got exactly the same error if I
tried to grab a small area of the screen.
Finally, I tried byzanz-record from the command line (their website options
don't match what you get with --help). In this case I could record about 10
seconds, which is the default value. After this it would either segfault, or
appear to carry on recording and consuming a *lot* of CPU power. The resultant
file would again only play (in VLC) for about 10 seconds.
Where too next?
I'm using the current debian 'jessie' on a quad core 64bit AMD

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
