What is "xvidcap"

XVidCap is free software used for recording a screencast or digital recording of an X Window System screen output with an audio narration. Screen capture tools are very handy for developers to document software and installation procedures. They can also be used by educators to help prepare tutorials for other software.

XVidCap is intended to be a standards-based, open source alternative to commercial software such as Lotus ScreenCam for UNIX platforms and is similar to Camtasia for Microsoft windows.
