Heres a look at my new screencaster of choice in Linux Vokoscreen. Its available for Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Debian and OpenSUSE. I've used it in Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 and found it produces some lovely high quality recordings (which you can see in my recent videos). Install instructions: Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vokoscreen-dev/vokoscreen sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install vokoscreen Debian / OpenSUSE Download zip file from website: http://www.kohaupt-online.de/ Extract and then Install the appropriate package for your system Wallpaper: http://imgur.com/64HLInj
