Help creating screencasts on Ubuntu. keeping audio and video in sync

[tchomby]

Ok, the technical support people here at the university are away until
tomorrow. If I don't fix this problem today then I'm gonna ask them to
install Windows for me tomorrow. I'd love to know why it is that I have a
sync problem and you don't. Does that suggest that it's because my machine
isn't up to spec? Maybe then I should try capturing a lower res/smaller
area?

I've been using recordmydesktop 0.3.6 from the repos.I looked at the
changelog, and there doesn't appear to be any important changes between that
and the latest version, but I think I'll try the latest anyway. I'll try
compiling xvidcap and caputring to avi too, if it can do that.

This is actually a fantastic idea, which hadn't occurred to me! It would
mean I could use my one-pass approach, but still produce two separate files
and then combine them later, which ostensibly is how you avoid sync
problems. Is there anyone here that uses this approach that can write a
little how-to for me?

I don't know how to combine the files. Can anyone give me, or point me to, a
step-by-step for how to combine the audio and video and get them in sync,
using any video editor (or anything)?

Thanks
