It runs! \o/ Yay! Hang out the banners!

Click the red "record" icon on the toolbar. When it's finished click the
"stop" icon that it has turned into. A dialog box should appear asking you
to save the file. You can also play it back directly. It will default to
saving as an ogg.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Chin up.

As an aside, I'm due to give a "short"* talk about screencasting on Linux at
the next Hampshire Linux User Group Meeting. It's on the 5th August and my
talk starts at 12pm.

We would *love* to see people from Kent turn up. We frequently get people
from Dorset, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex make the journey, but I appreciate
Kent is just that bit further away.

Don't worry if you can't make it, assuming my DV cam works we'll video it
and it will be available on Google Video shortly after. We also make all the
notes available online via the website http://hants.lug.org.uk/
</pimp>

* short for me is usually 45 mins or so - I get told to shutup. See
http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=hampshire+linux+user+group for
examples :)

Cheers,
Al.
