[clug] Recording screencasts on Linux?

[Carlo Hamalainen]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend good software for recording a screencast on Linux? It
will have to record audio (my narration) from a USB headset. No requirement
to record audio of the desktop itself.

The best that I can find so far is ffmpeg, as detailed here:

to have had no development since 2008.

Just wondering if there are any fancy whizz-bang one-click happy solutions
for this task.
