RecordMyDesktop is a desktop session recorder, for GNU / linux that attemps to be easy to use, yet also effective at it's primary task. As such, the program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way. The commandline tool (which essentially is recordMyDesktop), is written in C, while there are two frontends, written in python with pyGtk (gtk recordMyDesktop) and pyQt4 (qt-recordMyDesktop). recordMyDesktop offers also the ability to record audio through ALSA, OSS or the JACK audio server

|style="width: 50%;|Step 1- RecordMyDesktop will appear under Applications > Sounds & Video > gtk-recordMyDesktop. Open it and you'll see a window similar to this. You can adjust Video and Sound Quality by adjusting the slider near the top right of this window. If you un-tick the box for Sound Quality, sound will not be recorded (whatever is playing in your speakers). The better the quality of Video and Sound, the bigger will be the size of recorded file.
