Hi everyone! :-)

I am supposed to get (for the first time) into the world of making youtube
clips. I have a webcam, a microphone and a big hard drive configured and ready.
The question is: what would you suggest as an easy-to-use yum-installable app
that could handle a couple of minutes/hours of recording?

People who are about to use it are complete noobs, and I would like to give
them a user interface of type "start the program, press record, talk for a
while, press stop, press save, quit the program". That is, if something like
that exists for CentOS (version 5.6, if it matters).

I don't mind proprietary/patented/nonfree A/V formats, codecs and stuff.
Anything goes, of a typical amateur youtube quality. I just need something
that generates video clips in the simplest way possible.

Any recommendations?

TIA, :-)
Marko

I wonder if Kino would do this. Kino is availalble from the rpmforge
repo and installs cleanly via yum under CentOS 5.x.

If your clips are the computer lesson or software demo style,
"recordmydesktop" is as noob-proof as you can get. Regarding how to
shoot talking heads, I'd envision recording a webcam window, probably
contrived but feasible. Mixing other recorded material in would be
possible too.
