Simple video capture

Simple video capture:
We start by exploring the recordMyDesktop through command line. If you just cant wait to capture your first video, then follow the command to start recordMyDesktop from the command line
>recordmydesktop --no-sound -o my-first-video.ogv
 When you enter this command you will see



                                           
From the screenshot, you can see that the recordMyDesktop records the desktop session untill a ctrl+c is pressed to stop it. On receiving the signal, it stops capturing the video and starts encoding the video. Once it completes, we have successfully captured the video. By default the video is saved in the home directory.

By default recordMyDesktop captures the whole screen, but we can pass options to configure it according to our needs. For more information check the man page.
