[ale] screen recorder with video for ubuntu

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Here is what I am planning to do.  At a given time my firefox will start up
and with imacros help login to a page and start video streaming ON LINUX.

I then want to capture a region with audio.  This should be saved to folder,
which I plan to use myth to stream to my myth client an thereby to the tv.

All this should happen in the middle of the night.

Any ideas in that front ?
