For some time now I've wanted to find a way to really promote Yoshimi.

While quite a few people have have produced youtube vids of both Yoshi and Zyn, these (while having commendabe enthusiasm) have defintely lacked polish. Usually they are cam-corder recordings.

What I want to do is directly record the desktop, live, while playing one of my most complex productions providing the audio and video together, and opening closing various windows - so no question of authenticity - then add some captions in the form of bubbles. Ideally, for the last part I would like to have an overlay of scrolling acknowledgements.

It seems Oren has provided the answer to the last part of this, but I'm still searching for a reliable desktop recorder that can handle both the video and audio, without taking up so much processor time that there is insufficient bandwidth for Rosegarden and Yoshimi.

... as if I don't have enough to think about already ::)

Seems to be the most recommended software.

Regarding processor capacity to manage Yoshi, Zyn, and SimpleScreenRecorder simultaneously: this dilemma may help you justify that shiny new 8-core computer displayed in the shop window!  ;)

Hi Oren,

I did try SSR but it isn't available in the debian repositories, and trying to compile it it failed with a confusing missing library error - the library is there, and used by other programs!

Nope not going 8 core, I only comparatively recently went quad core :P

Yup - 2 cores are still doing it for me, but a new build is in the works to accommodate digital video.

Modelled after an Apple desktop - Intel i7, Intel board, and Nvidia graphics card - because hardware optimized for Mac (Unix) is also first-rate for Linux.
