To update this topic: I've been recording a screencast for setting up a functional Org-mode installation in Windows (I'll post about this separately), and wanted to share the tools I'm using. I did use recordmydesktop, and the Ogg Theora files it outputs had some minor time synchronization issues. Nothing major, it "catches up" frequently, but not real time keystroke capture. It runs in spurts. I used Kdenlive to stitch together multiple segments, and found it to be an excellent product, with terrible Ogg Theora support. To save some time for the next person, here's what I did. I took my .ogv's and transcoded them to .mov using ffmpeg, and split the audio out to a separate wav file. Then Kdenlive used the .mov and .wav in parallel tracks for rendering. for X in *.ogv ; do ffmpeg -i $X -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 22050 -ac 1 `basename $X .ogv`.wav ; done for X in *.ogv ; do ffmpeg -i $X -an `basename $X .ogv`.mov ; done After learning a bit on audio and video fades, Kden's rendering was great. Always use at least a short audio fade in and out to prevent clicks when changing tracks. Next time I may use ffmpeg directly to record to avoid Theora, though I think I'll continue to use my bluetooth headset with pulseaudio.
