[HELP] creating a screencast on Aeon/Linux

[paisley]

Hi there - firstly congratulations djh on creating such a magnificent skin. It is quite impressive and usable.

I would like to demo my particular setup to a friend across the country and I thought the best way to do this is through a quick screencast capturing my Linux desktop on video.

I have tried xvidcap and recordmydesktop with no luck. Both just record a small 1x1 pixel square when trying to capture the XBMC window. I'm guessing this has something to do with opengl being used?

I would appreciate any assistance in doing this...

I am assuming djh created the YouTube videos using a similar method - if not could you please explain how this video was done?

Yeah, same here. I'm using Transparency but I think this doesn't make a difference.

How do you guys make screencasts on linux? With the help of virtualbox? Or some other app? Uhhhmm...

thanks, but this is only available on windows. http://screenjelly.com doesn't work with my p4 (too slow? lags like hell) but hopefully it will with my asrock box which should arrive on monday...

any other suggestions?

Sorry for pushing this again but I still have no idea how to make a screencast (with audio) on linux.

Is it not possible? Looks like noone has got a solution... :(
