-RecordMyDesktop is a  desktop session recorder, for GNU / linux that attemps to be easy to use, yet also effective at it's primary task. As such, the program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of  capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way. The commandline tool (which essentially is recordMyDesktop), is written in C, while there are two frontends, written in python with  pyGtk (gtk recordMyDesktop) and pyQt4 (qt-recordMyDesktop).  recordMyDesktop offers also the ability to record audio through ALSA, OSS or the JACK  audio server
