Group test: screencasting apps

,----[ Quote ]
| Screencasts - digital movies with the desktop as a backdrop, the mouse as the 
| protagonist and a voiceover - have become an integral part of electronic 
| learning and form the basis of the computer-based training industry. As 
| bandwidth becomes affordable and video-sharing websites start popping up, 
| there's a huge influx of free and open source tools.

Fluendo walks the line between free and proprietary codecs

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite all its advances, GNU/Linux remains weak in its support for
| proprietary audio and video codecs. Because these codecs are often encumbered
| by patents, distributions must choose either to include support of
| questionable legality or else exclude it altogether. In the middle of this
| controversy sits Fluendo, a Catalan company of about 50 employees that is a
| main contributor to projects like GStreamer, and supports open formats, but
| also offers licensed, proprietary codecs such as Windows Media Video and
| MPEG4. While many would argue that this dual position is necessary, it's one
| that sometimes creates an unasy balance for the company, says Muriel
| Moscardini, Fluendo's sale director.
