I use XVidCap, edited with KDENlive, then uploaded to youtube and embedded that. All free (using ubuntu)

Thanks - I think the only problem is the resolution on YouTube is not very good. I followed the link through your profile to your YouTube video and although it's nice, for my purposes I'd like the text to be clearer on the video.

There's a post here with some hints on getting high quality up on YouTube: http://nerdwithnolife.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-get-high-q...

Yea if you want higher quality, I wouldn't use youtube. I still recommend XVidCap for linux... I find it much better then the others (like RecordMyDesktop). The quality will be very HQ and you could easily convert to FLV and host it yourself.

The quality will be very high, but youtube will ruin it, I agree.

Here is a higher quality version done with XVidCap: http://overtrainer.com/render.ogg
