i have linux mint installed in vmware so i use the screen recording tool to record the screen, i created a tutorial on another site if you want to try it ,here,s the link, http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4371

That sounds really complicated. I think it be neat to do, but beyond my newbieness.

I've already tried this, but I get an error 768. Something about not being able to configure my sound card.

Hi All,

To produce my YouTube Videos of Desktops I installed the following packages using Synaptic

mencoder
gtk-recordmydesktop
recordmydesktop

You should see recordMyDesktop in MAIN MENU / Sound & Video.

Click it to launch it. You should see a menu, on your screen, and a bright red ball in your task bar.

Click the red ball, and you are recording. The icon will then change to a little square. Click that to to stop. You will be told not to do anything, then asked to name your video.

Your video will be in your /Home directory, but in a non-YouTube friendly format e.g. .ogg/Vorbis.

To convert it to an .avi, which YouTube likes, run this in Terminal.

mencoder -o output_file.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vbitrate=5000:vhq -ffourcc DX50 -oac pcm -srate 48000 -ofps 25 your_movie.mov

I assume your Vid is in your Home file. Then where it says "your_movie.mov", change it to /home/whatever/your movie name. Click, and your vid gets converted to an .avi file. It might take a minute or two. The .avi should land in your Home file.

Then post to YouTube, and shout about Linux Mint. I do!
