A while ago I blogged (lost in migration, reposted) about my complete disappointment in the currently available programs for screen capture in Linux. As a result of that post, I was contacted by Christian Linhart who produces a program called “DemoRecorder“.

[I don't care how good the program is. I want my freedom. Such programs have no value to me if they are not libre. That the developer is pink with purple polka dots doesn't change that. - dcparris]

I wholeheartedly agree with comment that dcparris posted in story description.

I don't support the move by OSVids towards supporting and even *selling* proprietary software on its site.

The fact that there are *at least* two Free alternatives that work fairly well doesn't help here.

C'mon, Libervis, you know you and dcparris would drool and drop everything to grab non-free programs by a pink developer with purple polka dots. Don't think; just take the shiny bauble and be happy! Everyone else is doing it. You don't want to look strange, now, do you?

Looking strange is cool. ;)

And vice versa.
