Using recordmydesktop to upload to YouTube, Vimeo etc.

recordMyDesktop is a great tool to make videos of what you're doing with your computer. This can be very useful to demonstrate software features or to document workflows. By default, recordMyDesktop produces Ogg-Theora-Vorbis. If you want to share your files or upload them to a video site you'll want to convert them to something more common.

mencoder out.ogv -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts pass=1 -o out.avi

This will produce a video of good enough quality so that people can see what you are doing.Here's an example:{embed}Please notice that mouse and click highlighting aren't recordMyDesktop features.
