Linux Swords

I was looking for a tool to capture videos from my desktop. First i tried x11rec, but the output is a *.mng file which is an outdatet movie-format. The only alternative output is a *.gif file but i wanted an mpg-file. Unfortunately fmpeg couldn’t handle the format either so I investigated a little bit more.

I finally found xVidCap which installs just fine with a *.deb file. It looks a bit old but it’s an easy to handle and pretty intuitive to use.
