xvidcap, a Tool to capture videos off your X-Window

xvidcap is a screen capture enabling you to capture videos off your X-Window desktop for illustration or documentation purposes.It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to tools like Lotus ScreenCam.

xvidcap is a tool that captures movement on a selected area of an X11 screen to files. It can operate in two distinct modes: (1) single-frame capture or (2) multi-frame capture. In single-frame capture mode xvidcap takes a configurable number of screenshots per second and saves them to individual files. In multi-frame capture mode xvidcap also takes a number of screenshots per second, but encodes them to a single video in real time. Audio capture is only available with multi-frame formats.

Recording in single-frame capture mode may be more convenient if you wish to preprocess the images before encoding, or if you need other video codecs xvidcap does not support. Individual images can later be encoded with tools like ffmpeg, mencoder, or transcode.
