I personaly use ffmpeg, heres the command i use...

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x1024 -r 15 -b 5000k -i :0.0 -s 480x360 -r 15
-b 500k out.flv

-s 1280x1024 is my desktop size

-r 15 is 15 fps

-b 5000k is the input quality, i use a nice high number for good quality

-s 480x360 is the final size of the output video

the second -r 15 is the final fps of the output video

the second -b 500k is the output quality, this saves me converting it
later, you could just use...

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x1024 -r 15 -b 5000k -i :0.0 out.flv

but the output would be huge but really good quality, so you could then
resize it with...

ffmpeg -i out.flv -s 480x360 -r15 -b 500k resized.flv

the top example does both these in 1 command

i use .flv as the output so i can put it my website, you can just change
out.flv to out.mpg or out.ogv or out.avi and ffmpeg will automatically
encode it in that format
