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.

RecordMyDesktop is command line only. Use GTK below for the GUI.
or
   
  <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>

Bemasc found this. Test it on the command line. Let us know.

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.
