I've uploaded this as a .pet here, (1594kbytes):a small tool to capture things going on on an X-Windows display to either individual frames or an MPEG video. On Windows machines there are commercial tools like Lotus ScreenCam or Camtasia which do a very good job esp. for the purpose I was needing such a tool for: Software documentation, esp. installation procedures and such.

To run, Menu->Graphic->XVidCap, or enter xvidcap in a console. Entering xvidcap -h will give an outline of usage.
