It is thought to be buggy but the following patch has allowed video to be saved to the Journal. Open Terminal and change to directory /home/olpc/Activities/Screencast.activity and replace the file pippy_app.py with [http://www.box.net/shared/t38mhmee8j this file] (renamed to pippy_app.py)

(it would be a good idea to backup the existing file first, eg mv pippy_app.py pippy_app.bak)

Open Terminal and change to directory /home/olpc/Activities/Screencast.activity
Just download as above, you dont need to patch it. Open Terminal and change to directory /home/olpc/Activities/Screencast.activity and start the recordmydesktop program from the command line.
cd Activities/Screencast.activity
./recordmydesktop
press ctrl c to terminate recording, wait for processing to complete and then copy the video to the journal
copy-to-journal out.ogv -m video/ogg
The video is now saved in the journal and can be played by clicking on it.
The [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/manpage.php manual] is helpful reading.
(The meaning of the -m flag is to set the Mime type [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar.mime#Who_decides_the_default_activity_for_opening_files_of_different_mime_types.3F 1] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME 2] [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Journal_entry_bundles 3] to video/ogg )
./recordmydesktop
