Take screencast and ogv to Avi conversion in Ubuntu

For recording your screen, where we can demonstrate some videos or some functions, RecordMydesktop is a nice option in Ubuntu. It can be downloaded using Ubuntu Software Center. It is pretty easy to use too.

Here is the link for RecordMyDesktop:

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gtk-recordmydesktop/

However, this tool generates the video in ".ogv" format. If we wish to convert it into a commonly used format such as ".avi", we can use following commad:

$ mencoder input.ogv -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output.avi
