Screencasting

I read an entry on the ubuntu blog that is about screencasting for Ubuntu. What is screencasting? It is to capture screens of your computer desktop at certain time intervals accompanied by audio. You know like when people like to explain something it is better to show than to write down (in most cases I think).

Here is the link to the original post (thanks to ubuntonista): http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/how-to-create-a-screencast-in-ubuntu

He also has a sample screencasted video to show what you can do with ffmpeg.

I'll also want to try and get it to work for SuSE and see if there is an open source way to do this in Windows.
