-# 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) to get this
-# to work. I wanted to make mp4 with x264, I didn't bother with free codecs.

-# So this script allows you to create screencasts on Linux, with optional sound inputs (both Mic 
-# and system sounds). It stores system sounds and mic in separate audio streams.
