Screen recording flickers on ubuntu with compiz?
After a weekend full of support issues, I finally found some time to play around with ubuntu Linux to provide you some new screen recordings. First I thought it is cool, that ubuntu comes with a screen recorder. Then I was disappointed, because it produced flickering screen videos. Here is the solution! If your screen movie flickers with compiz on ubuntu, there is an easy solution: “Sync to blank”.
In the general settings for Compiz, tick the “Sync to blank” checkbox and reboot. After that my recordings look quite good - no more flickering. Nonetheless am I missing some features for adding comments and hints for the users, who might want to learn something from my clicking. I am still evaluating this software setup!
