I tried out wink and Xvidcap. The Recordmydesktop just didn't seem too friendly for my environment (though I may try this another time...) Out of the two I did try, wink doesn't seem to be suitable. While it has a more intuitive (though overly crowded) interface, it still boils down to static snapshots of the desktop/focus area then squish those together in a presentation. I can do that with Ksnapshot and any presentation software. What I am looking for is a video recording of my actions, with the option of doing a voice over. Enter xvidcap. It fills the requirements, and it's video seems to be good quality, and can be adjusted. It allows for a particular capture rectangle to be specified (which may or may not represent the whole screen). It's interface is a little odd, but easily figured out. I set it to capture my screen, and it handled a windowed VMWare session just fine. (not really required, but was curious how it would go...) Now, I guess I need to write some scripts (as in presentation scripts, not coding scripts)... :).
