Screencasting revisited.

Thought we might take another try at screencasting. There is an earlier version of how to screencast with gtk-record-MY-Desktop, but it did not work for me. So, I decided to try something new. You may remember ffmpeg from squeeze a video instructable. It is not only a very versatile program, but it has been developed for several platforms such as certain Microsoft operating systems, Apple OS/X and Linux. We will be using it here. For our set up we will be using it from the command line. Makes adjustments for settings easier. Running Ubuntu linux 10.04 for tis demonstration.

Step 1 What's needed:

Fairly new computer running linux with a working microphone input.
Working microphone.
Mike stand.
Plan for the screencast.
