linux equivelant to Lotus Screen Cam?
 

is there one?

What is Lotus Screen Cam?

IIRC it copied your screen actions, and sound and then created an exe of them which you could send to people. Useful for training / teaching.

did it work on a differnt machine than it was made on? if so, is it better than just using a program that records what on screen?

it could be set to make the resultant file as an avi or wmv or mpg

and yes it was designed to work on "any machine"
very useful for putting together training films

sounds interesting. I have not seen anything like it, so far. Let me know if you find it.

well
i came across an app called xvidcap that is supposed to be equal to screencam
i downloaded the source files but cannot get them to compile
i may give the rpm a try

will post back if results worth mentioning

ok

i got the xvidcap rpm form sourceforge and did a --nodeps install

xvidcap ran but wouldnt save to a video file

i then had to mess around getting libffmpeg installed
once this was installed and i hacked the ~/.xvidcap.scf as per these instructions
http://www.dennisgdaniels.com/tiki-i...p?page=xvidcap
i got a playback

there is a smal crosshair button on the xvidcap toolbar
click on this then on either any open window or the desktop itself, the capture area automatically resizes itself to the chosen window size or to the entire desktop area size

quality and compression rate are settable via the .scf file

one note:
after closing the program down I had 2 commands running at 49% and 51%, these did not show up in kdesystem guard but appeared when i used "top" and shutdown with the kill command

looks neat - thanks for the tip.
