Features/Record Computer Screen

= Record Computer Screen =

Summary
Give users a built-in application to easily record their computer screen.

Owner
I am not able to implement this feature because my C++ coding skills are weak, but I am learning it on the side of my school work. I need someone to volunteer to make this possible. If you would like to do this send me a message so I can say I have someone willing to implement this. Then this feature can be a possible option. I need you! :)

Current Status

 * Targeted release: Fedora 13
 * Last updated: November 30, 2009

Detailed Description
Provide a built-in application that allows the user to record their computer screen. This application should come with some additional options; e.g. "Show mouse cursor", "Record active window", "Show window border" and a video record quality (resolution) selection. (This was inspired by the already available ability to take snapshots of your computer screen.)

Benefit to Fedora
This would give users a simple solution to recording their screen for whatever purpose they need.

Scope
What is proposed for creation:
 * A build in screen recording application
 * Options like what I said earlier in the "Detailed Description"
 * Default file extension to be ".ogv" (what I would like, depends on implementer)

Optional:
 * Have an option in ABRT (automatic bug reporting tool) to record the screen to further explain the bug that will be submitted

How to Test
