There are several ways to do this. You can record the webcam stream separately or together with the desktop. Either way, you can either cast the stream live or record for editing and polish later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_screencasting_software https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop http://www.wikihow.com/Record-Your-Desktop-Using-FFmpeg-on-Ubuntu-Linux http://screenstudio.crombz.com/ http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php and many more from just a brief web search, and whatever webcam and non-linear video editing software you prefer. Notes and Disclaimer: 1. libav (fork) and ffmpeg where in a battle a while back. I prefer ffmpeg: it usually incorporates fixes from libav while libav pretty much ignores ffmpeg 2. I have not used used these tools extensively. YMMV. Have fun! Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
