Ubuntu/Fedora

Use recordmydesktop to produce a .ogg file

use usb headset, set mic input to use headset
record screencast. Pause w/CTRL-ALT-p (this keeps the video moving along quickly)
recordmydesktop -x 0 -y 28 --width=1024 --height=768
- place window first, then use xwininfo to get size & coordinates

mencoder in.ogv -of lavf -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv -o out.swf
- then, embed that in HTML! (yep, gotta set dimensions)
  <object width="1040" height="848"> <param name="movie" value="search.swf"> <embed src="search.swf" width="1040" height="848"/> </object>
I haven't done one of these with sound yet, but it should work
see mencoder(1) for sound options
- mp3 should work, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Video#Format_details
use mencoder to convert that to MPEG-4
- mencoder capture.ogg -oac lavc -ovc lavc -o capture.avi
