I used to have beryl-vidcap but since the update to beryl 0.2.0-beta1 theres no vidcap, atleast i havent found one, i should try to build it myself, but i wont want to rely on beryl, is there any other good ones to use?

have you tried xvidcap? Youl find it at http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/

if you mean to record your desktop there's a program called Wink and there's another program, which could be a fork of Wink, but i'm not sure, called Byzanz. EDIT maybe it's called Byzanz-record. and that's the one which saves to .gif's

here's a demo showing one of the saved gifs -

i think the main difference between them is the format they save in, one uses Gif's and the other uses something like MPEG

i tried doing this, but the memory load of video recording problem + beryl was just too much, and the video made my computer look bad, not good.

beryl has a plugin in svn called capture......which captures your desktop.....

gimp. file>acquire>screenshot. you can do the whole desk, or just one window, and use a timer for both. plus, as you're already in gimp, you can touch it up, resize it, etc. and save it in any format. i may be on crack here, but i think all those screenshot programs produce blurry pics, compared to gimp.

KSnapshot

I recomment Record My Desktop.
Its easy to use, it has a small footprint in your resources, and it encodes to OGG Theora (small files).

i would agree with that.


for an actual screen capture (no video), i recommend Desktop data manager. another program of note is gsnapshot.
