Working with the application

Functionalities

Step 1- RecordMyDesktop will appear under Applications > Sounds & Video > Record MyDesktop. Open it and you'll see a window similar to this. You can adjust Video and Sound Quality by adjusting the slider near the top right of this window. If you un-tick the box for Sound Quality, sound will not be recorded (whatever is playing in your speakers). The better the quality of Video and Sound, the bigger will be the size of recorded file.	Step 2-Under the Files Tab, it lists the software's working directory where it will store temporary files. It is set to /tmp by default and I don't think you need to change it.
Step 3- Under the Performance Tab, you can adjust Frame Rate and some other options. Something between 20-30 frames gives reasonable quality.	Step 4-Under the Sound Tab, you  can adjust Channels, Frequency of Sound and the Sound Device for recording. You can also use a mic and record your own voice through that.
Step 5-Under the Misc Tab, you can see some other options related to Mouse Cursor, Windows Decorations, Tooltips etc. You don't need to change them.	Step 6-Select window ; select the desktop area which is needed. If not necessary just leave it that option Record ; If we click record button in the icon bar we identify the red button which is a symbol of record process. If we click on that it will show the command like * Record *Show/hide window *select area on screen * about *Quit save as Quit
	Step 7- Once you completed all process to save the file, the loading process will get start as like this image. we need to wait till its get complete. then only we will get output file. if we close before loading completes we not able to see the output file.
