Yes, I used it for a while, but prefer Simple Screen Recorder, which is
also covered in the parent article.
A matter of personal preferences.

long-lasting discussion about Linux's lack of screencasting software can
finally be closed.
It's too bad that Peter the Klöwn was too much of an asshole to mention
the existence of this program.

And what exactly is the difference?
With both programs you are able to create videos from your desktop
sessions, only Simple Screen Recorder has more advanced options then
Vokoscreen.
+ support for multiple sound input channels;
+ support for more video output formats/codecs;
+ support for OpenGL content.
- support for zooming, simply configure the windowsmanager key shortcuts
for that task.

Linux has plenty of screencasting software for quite some time, yet Snit

I suggest Peter Köhlmann simply didn't bother with Snit's whining in

the "casting" suffix indicates that you don't record the desktop as much
as you project the desktop elsewhere. If the program can't do that, it's
not much of a screencaster.
Of course, Snit is the expert here and would be a lot better than me at
explaining this.

If you have Mint, at least, there is no secret here. since vokoscreen is part of the standard repository. Now, I have both vokoscreen and simplescreenrecorder installed.
My how Slimer just loves to advertise his mental illness by constantly babbling to Snit.

Technically I do not think there is really much of a difference between the
terms "screencasting" and "screen recording", but most people who do a lot
of screencasting differentiate the two.
Screen recording programs record the screen. That is about it. They might
have some options to select a window / rectangle or the full screen or even
to show or hide the cursor in *pre* production, but not much else.
More advanced software allows you to record not just the screen but also
your self with a webcam, and more importantly, to make more decisions *post*
production. Being able to zoom into a specific window, show or hide the
cursor, show or not show clicks, show or hide keystrokes, things like that.
It is these types of things a separate video editor cannot do (unless you
get a video format you can share which includes separate channels for the
mouse (and knows when it was clicked), for keystrokes, and for each window
(or at least a different one for the front window). As far as I know, no
open format does this.

Having said all that -- for streaming ("casting") through twitch.tv,
obs-studio for Linux has worked well for me. Shame that it's not in

If you can show me I am wrong and that there is a product or suite that does
a good subset of that I would love to see it. Sure, I might note areas of

The OS X tool that does that certainly has its quirks. It is not like it is
