Screenshot Movies In Linux?

ixus_123 · 04-14-2004, 07:11 PM

I just downloaded someones home made screenshot movie showcasing Expose on Mac os X.

I use Dropline on Slackware & was wondering if there are any apps people can recomend that could make a screenshot movies of sorts. Then I could maybe showcase Linux a bit to my friends who seem reluctant to convert.

Movies saved as .gif or mpg would be ideal.

I ran a search and fould this

but was wondering if there was something else - maybe with a frontend and a a one or two click affair?

That just takes screenshots as far as I can tell - I need a short movie - either in gif format or some sort of video file. So for example I could ´film´ an app like the Gimp opening and then doing some file resizing or something etc then saving the file - then end.

Actually never mind - I found one

All that talk of the Gimp made me go to their site. They have demo videos of their software in mpeg4 format made using xvidcap
