(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Its not like I'm new to Linux (though I'm certainly not a Linux pro), but I just don't do much screen capturing on Linux (in fact, up until this point, I haven't done any). However, I was thinking that it would be fun to perhaps try making some tutorials, and I'd prefer to record on Linux (it'll just be easier for the type of tutorial I want to make).

Normally, I'd use Camtasia, but it seems like that only runs on Windows and Mac, also I'd rather have something free (possibly open-source) that can run natively on Linux. Can anyone recommend a good, free screen recording software?

use xvidcap, i don't think you can record audio, but its the best for just recording random stuff for linux.

Install ffmpeg then use a command like ffmpeg -f x11grab -s `xdpyinfo | grep -i dimensions: | sed 's/[^0-9]*pixels.*(.*).*//' | sed 's/[^0-9x]*//'` -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq recording.avi

This will do a full screen recording at full quality at whatever resolution you're using, it finds that out by using xdpyinfo.

RecordMyDesktop is what i use.

I believe it's this:

    sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop

But if not im sure its in the Software center.
