i haven't found an app for making avis, but there seems to be several for making mpegs. i have used xvidcap (look for it in rpmfind.net, or I can send it to you)... firts it takes snapshots of a window, the desktop, an area, etc... then with all the images you can use this software or gimp to make the movie the time I tried to use this app was on my laptop, but the ram/swap couldn't handle so much info (about 1000 images), so i betrayed our cause and used quicktime pro in my home box with w98se to make a mov file, which was pretty easy (i recently installed lm8 in that box) Carlos Berardi
