Notes

xvidcap

Linux

Screen and Audio Capture

mpeg(4), avi, mov, others, with sorenson, divx, mpeg, others.

Default versions do not work with pulseaudio, and thus recent Ubuntu installations (Ubuntu 11.4 and 11.10).  Workaround is to install from source, and launch with padsp.  Provides a GUI, easy to use

ffmpeg

Linux

Screen and Audio Capture

Anything except apple pro

Pure command line tool.  For Ubuntu, must build from source (directions), and then command lines like these.  FFmpeg is also suitable for format conversion and audio overlay.
