When recordmydesktop is stopped (when the program starts), the icon will be a record sign, meaning that if you left-click on it, a new recording will start. Paused (two thin parallel and vertical rectangles, aka pause sign).When the application is active you can also see the application in the panel bar which has 3 states: When the encoding ends the main window will reappear, unless you have manually hidden it through the tray icon pop up-menu. After recording encoding of the data into an ogg/theora-vorbis file is automatically done.When you start a recording session the main window will hide itself, unless you have already done so manually through the tray icon pop up-menu. The simplest way to start a recording is to simply left click on the tray icon, or click the record button on the main window.When it is empty, there will be no audio recording and the resulting file will consist only of a video stream. When this box is checked, sound recording is enabled. These control the quality of the encoded file (bitrate) and not that of capturing.Ī very important element of the interface is the checkbox on the left of the sound quality scale. On the top-right corner, we can see two scale widgets, labeled as “Video Quality” and “Sound Quality”. “Select Window” can be used to confine the area of the recording on a single window. When you open the application, you can see two buttons, “Select Window” and “Record”.
Before we begin, let us understand the GUI of the application:
Using the application to record desktop screen is very easy. Recordmydesktop consists of three main programs, recordmydesktop is a command line tool with gtk-recordmydesktop and qt-recordmydesktop as the graphical frontends for GTK and QT environments. recordmydesktop can capture both – audio and video of a desktop screen. It is a very useful application which can be very helpful when one needs to record and share desktop activities to someone else. The recordmydesktop application can record either the whole screen or a predefined area within it. Recordmydesktop is a desktop session recorder for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. Examples of this dead-time include as a client waits for a response from a server, as source code is compiled, or whilst an application starts up. An audio description can also be used to pad out the sections of the video where nothing interesting is happening.
The audio element can help to supplement and describe the features being demonstrated on the screen. ScreenCasts may optionally contain an audio track describing what is happening on the screen.
