Needed in Kubuntu ASAP

[James]

For 12.10 (ok that's probably overwhelmingly optimistic) Kubuntu needs a 
screen recording program. We would like the community to make more videos 
showcasing Kubuntu for distribution on Youtube, Vimeo, etc. however, without 
good command-line skills with FFMPeg, this is not possible. Here's why:

a) Only Qt/KDE application in the repositories is  RecordItNow, which as of 
Kubuntu 12.04 I could not get to work
b) Only other option is RecordMyDesktop, which is a GTK app
c) Both of these, assuming one can get them to work, output video in .ogv 
format. This is a format that KDE's video editor, KDEnlive, can not even open! 

This means that even a well-intentioned community member who wanted to make a 
video screencast of something cool on their Kubuntu system has no inherit way 
to do so. 

Proposed solution would be to package / test FDesktopRecorder, a highly-ranked 
KDE desktop recorder found on opendesktop.org: 
http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/FDesktopRecorder?content=147844

There are packages for other distros, but no .deb files.  I can not package, 
but as I need a tool for screencasts I would gladly test if someone could 
package. I would also be doing more Kubuntu videos :)

Other options / ideas welcome but I strongly feel this needs to be addressed 
ASAP. 

Thoughts?
