For 12.10 (ok that's probably overwhelmingly optimistic) Kubuntu needs a screen recording program. We would like the community to make more videos showcasing Kubuntu for distribution on Youtube, Vimeo, etc. however, without good command-line skills with FFMPeg, this is not possible. Here's why:
a) Only Qt/KDE application in the repositories is RecordItNow, which as of Kubuntu 12.04 I could not get to work b) Only other option is RecordMyDesktop, which is a GTK app c) Both of these, assuming one can get them to work, output video in .ogv format. This is a format that KDE's video editor, KDEnlive, can not even open! This means that even a well-intentioned community member who wanted to make a video screencast of something cool on their Kubuntu system has no inherit way to do so. Proposed solution would be to package / test FDesktopRecorder, a highly-ranked KDE desktop recorder found on opendesktop.org: http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/FDesktopRecorder?content=147844 There are packages for other distros, but no .deb files. I can not package, but as I need a tool for screencasts I would gladly test if someone could package. I would also be doing more Kubuntu videos :) Other options / ideas welcome but I strongly feel this needs to be addressed ASAP.
