Here are five more popular ways to screen video on Linux
1.istanbul:istanbul is one of the most widely used video softwares at present. You can click here to download Istanbul.debianlinux and Fedoralinux users can install software from repo (the main source of updates to Fedora). The Istanbul interface is very simple, and when you first start Istanbul, a small red button appears on the System desktop panel, as shown in Figure 1:

Right-click the button and the Action menu appears, as shown in Figure 2:


You can choose to record the window, or select the video area with your mouse, and if you want to stop the video, you can left-click the button, and it prompts you to save the recorded file, as shown in Figure 3, 4:





Tip: By default, Istanbul will store the intercepted video in a ogg format.

2.Wink

In contrast to other screen video software, Wink allows you to more accurately control the recording process, in fact, wink video principle and different from the traditional screen video software, it is the screen shot per second frame number to achieve the effect of the video, for example, you set her to intercept 20 frames per second, then a minute down, He will continue to screen screenshots about 1200 times, and then put the screenshots in order to form the screen, so that later you can modify any one of the frames to change the appearance of the video. Wink usually save the recorded file as a Shockwave format, and the advantage of this format is that it can be converted to any one of the video formats you want.

Please note that Wink is not able to work under the following conditions
-1.ubuntu8.04 above version;
-2. Other Linux distributions with "libexpat.so.1" files in the directory "/usr/lib/", the solution for this scenario is to rename the "libexpat.so.0" file, and this will not cause problems with the system. Of course, the flaw in this approach is that it may cause other applications that need to use the file to fail, and a permanent solution is to recompile the affected application or to wait for the release of the updated version of the program.

To start recording, start with the "New" option on the "File" menu and select the size of the video in the pop-up dialog box, as shown in Figure 5:



Careful you may find that by default, wink captures 50 frames per second, as shown in Figure 6:


When you click OK, a window pops up with the shortcut keys that are available during the recording, as shown in Figure 7:



Click Minimizetotray in the previous illustration to minimize the program to the system tray, which is equivalent to a background run in Windows, right-click on the icon on the system tray and select "Starttimedcapture" to start the screen video, as shown in Figure 8:



If you want to stop the video, just like the start video, select "Stoptimedcapture" in the pop-up menu (shown in Figure 8 as a gray unavailable menu item), and then generate a video report telling you the current number of frames to capture, as shown in Figure 9:


In order to get the real video file, but also to the captured image frame conversion, the specific operation shown in Figure 10: (Click on the green small arrow)



After the conversion is complete, enter the Save File dialog box, where you can customize the file name, file type, and frame rate, as shown in Figure 11:
