Thomas, Oppss that's not me! I forgot to add that I am trying to do 
something like the linked screen-cast. It looks like all the cool screen 
cast are done using a Mac? I came across a screen-cast (once) and it 
looked like it was done on Linux....ha!

Actually since we last talked, I got better at producing my own screen 
captures, the quality is very nice, but you do notice some aliasing if 
you're trying to capture 1600x1200, goes away if you zoom in on a 
smaller window or area.

I found using xwininfo to get the geometry helps, but you still need to 
adjust the values. It seems ffmpeg clips the input window and it likes 
value as multiple of 2.

I am not looking for a good video editor: Live, Kino and Cinelerra, 
KDEnlive look like good possibilities.  Do you know of any others? I 
want to be able to insert separate audio tracks easily to do voice overs.
