An engineer called me to help setup a CAD training class. They'd like to record some small screen vignettes, e.g., opening up forms, filling out test values, issuing simulations etc. and play them back on the same machines where they do the work.
The primary application is Cadence, running on a stock RHEL Linux workstation with Gnome session. We won't be training anyone on something that requires 3D rendering or OpenGL, it's just plain vanilla 2D stuff for now. They'd really like movie vignettes, not just screen captures. It's been a long time since I looked at the available solutions for this. The Media group is heavily tilted toward MS solutions, i.e., they can't spell Linux and we want the user to run the training on a Linux workstation. I have found pointers like this: http://linuxappfinder.com/multimedia/videocapture I would like to know if anyone is fond of one solution more than the others. XvidCap looks like the kind of app suited for my purposes, but it looks like it hasn't had activity for three years. Comments/suggestions/questions welcome. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
