+# WARNING: This is a terribly dirty and messy shellscript, written over a
+# couple of late nights. There was alcohol …
+# You probably need to install all the gstreamer-plugins (at least -ugly
+# and -ffmpeg) as well as gstreamer-tools to get this to work. I wanted to
+# make mp4 files with x264, I didn't bother with free codecs.
+#
+# So this script allows you to create screencasts on Linux, with optional
+# sound inputs (both Microphone and system sounds). It stores system sounds
+# and microphone in separate audio streams.
+#
+# You also get to choose to record from the whole screen or just a specified
+# window. It has been tested on Fedora 18, Ubuntu 13.04 and CrunchBang Waldorf
+# (and thus should work on Debian Wheezy as well).
+#
+# It dumps the recording in your $HOME directory with a filename like
+# screencast-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.mp4
+#
