To record a video from your desktop (like a screenshot, just in video), [[open a console]], then
 
* decide if your current resolution fits. If it does not, change it using xrandr, e.g.
 
xrandr -s "640x480"
 
* install recordmydesktop, in this example for SUSE Linux:
 
yast -i recordmydesktop
 
* start the video recording with the command
 
recordmydesktop
 
* the result will be a file e.g. out-1.ogv. To convert it to a more efficient size, use e.g.
 
[[ffmpeg]] -i out-1.ogv -f mp4 out-1.mp4
