[wplug] Screen recording software for Linux

[Pat Barron]

Does anyone have any favorite screen recording packages for Linux? 
Basically, software that works something like Camtasia or CamStudio does 
on Windows ... except not on Windows.  ;-)

So far, I have found:

1.  RecordMyDesktop - rather minimal, doesn't provide any way to do 
things like annotate the recording, plus only produces recordings in Ogg 
Vorbis / Theora format which is somewhat limiting.
2.  Istanbul - appears to have essentially the same minimal feature set, 
and same file format limitations, as RecordMyDesktop.
3.  Byzanz - also rather minimal for the same reasons, only allows 
recording for a specified amount of time (i.e., doesn't provide any way 
to do "Record until I tell you to stop"), plus it has a silly name that 
I can never remember.  ;-)  But at least it will natively produce 
recordings in FLV (Flash video) format.
4.  Wink - Freeware but not open-source (and doesn't appear to be 
included in any distro's repositories so it has to be installed outside 
of the distro's package system), but creates recordings in FLV format 
and lets you do at least basic annotations and things. But, doesn't 
appear to want to install on 64-bit Linux systems, so I haven't been 
able to even try it.

I don't necessarily mind something that has to be installed outside of 
the package system, as long as it works well.

Are there others I'm missing?
