==RecordMyDesktop steps==
I found this page [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Screencast Activity Screencast!] Must research and test!
-------
# Get Sugar installed and internet connection working
# Go to terminal (can be found in list of activities)
# Go to root by typing
<code>su</code>
You are looking for [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php RecordMyDesktop]. Read the very old [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/manpage.php help pages]. They'll give you some clues to the operation of RecordMyDesktop(RMD) though I must say that after playing with RMD on Sugar I much prefer RMD on Ubuntu.
#Type:
<code>yum install recordmydesktop</code>
RecordMyDesktop is command line only. Use GTK below for the GUI.
<code>yum install gtk-recordmydesktop</code>
or this one written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29 Python] WHICH should be more stable on Sugar as Sugar is written in Python... though amazingly qt-recordmydesktop asked for 27M of space where gtk-recordmydesktop only asked for a few 100K! Bemasc at the IRC rightly pointed out that QT is a big app and that there are huge buffering considerations for using RMD in general.
<code>yum install qt-recordMyDesktop</code>
==GStreamer==
Bemasc found this. Test it on the command line. Let us know.
<Code>gst-launch ximagesrc ! video/x-raw-rgb,framerate=5/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=desktop.ogg

Video, when done properly, can explain a lot more than text. And video can overcome some of the language barriers by SHOWING people what to do and their expected outcomes.
