Description Dominique Michel 2013-08-11 12:45:40 UTC
Screencastor is a nice GUI for capturing the screen and/or the audio using ffmpeg or libav. It is similar to recordmydesktop but more powerful.

For the audio, it work with alsa, pulse or oss. It is very easy to add jack support.

Other Screencaptor related URI are https://launchpad.net/~hizo/+archive/screencastor (the deb archive here doesn't work at run time), and http://www.linuxcore.fr/2012/06/screencastor/ for a little demo video and a French explanation.

The software itself is in English and French at that time.

screencastor-1.3.0 ebuild

devs-libs/appindicator with its python bindings are needed to have systray support. Portage doesn't provide these bindings, but screencastor work fine without it.

I separated the patch into 2 pieces. It is possible to introduce a jack USE flag now.
