Thank you very much Adler for your suggestions.

eye208, that looks like helpful support you gave, and now I know there exists a program called Blender's sequence editor that sounds like it is worth using to complete my task. Thanks.

I wrote a little script to convert the ogg outputs to avi as prescribed in the first post (just to make things simple. To run it, simply place it in your path (either /usr/bin or your own personal bin/ folder if you have added your own path), navigate to the folder with the screencast and type

ogg2avi.sh screencast.ogg

while replacing screencast.ogg with the name of your ogg file. It will ask you what you would like to call your avi, and type the desired filename without the extension, and voila! You have an AVI!

ok, I have made a few changes to the script. Now, it will create a ~/screencasts directory, inside of which will be a folder for ogg's and avi's. after it converts the screencast, it will now rename the ogg to the same thing as you had it name the avi, and move both to their respective folders in your new screencast directory. I am also trying to find a way to have the script autorun after a screencast is taken, in which case you will have two copies of the video after every screencast, a youtube version, and an ogg version.

Hi All,

I've a lot of YouTube videos going regarding Linux 3D Desktops using Beryl and compiz-Fusion. I've recorded these with recordMyDesktop.

What I would like to do is add / edit all these uploads to include an introduction screen e.g. one slide to show / tell what the viewer will be looking at.

Basically, I would need a video editor, but I am not sure what to use.

BTW, here is my latest upload to YouTube...

Thanks for any help here.
