Question: Best tool to record desktop video on Kubuntu/Ubuntu/KDE/Linux?
I looked at two Options for recording a video stream of desktop actions:
gtk recordmydesktop
xvidcap http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
Tried both, only xvidcap worked as needed. Seems to handle full HD capture with minimal performance impact.
Convert OmniOutliner Outlines to Linux and a good Linux Outlining Tool
Question: How to convert OmniOutliner Outlines to Linux, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, KDE?
These are rough instructions but they work:
1. Convert the OmniOutliner file to .opml (File Export in Omnioutliner). Note you will lose all font/column formatting in this basic conversion.
2. On linux download two files:
Treepad Lite
http://www.treepad.com/linux/treepadlite/
OPML to Treepad Converter
http://www.treepad.com/download/opml2tp.zip
3. Expand all, create a new folder, i.e. TreePadLite and copy all to the new folder.
4. Place your test .opml file in the folder
5. Run
perl opml2tp.pl myfilename.opml > myfilename.hjt
6. You can now run the Treepad program and open the .hjt file
7. To wrap up the install, you should move the data (.hjt) file to where you keep your documents in your /home directory. Also you can place the app folder in a safe place ... if you are in the TreePadLite folder, type
sudo mv ../TreePadLite /opt/TreePadLite
The conversion feature will be integrated in the new Auto Mini desktops in 2011.
