Question

I'm looking for free (gratis) software for Ubuntu that allows me to easily record the screen. I don't exactly have the best computer ever so I'm also looking for low ram consumption. Recording of audio is not required, I just need video.

Requirements:

Must be gratis
Must work for Ubuntu 12.04
Would be cool if it had Unity integration
Output of video format is not of matter to me
(If possible) low system resource usage (RAM, processor usage and such)
Keyboard short cuts to start and stop recording
Would be great if it had a pause function
I do not require any editing features, or audio recording (including system sounds)

Explanation / Answer

I've used GTK RecordMyDesktop before and was pleased with the result (but note that I have used only once for really simple stuff).

* What you mean by Unity integration? I remember that it did had an (interactive) tray icon.

** I don't remember exactly which filetype(s) it supports, but it's worth mentioning that I found it to be very limited (it's .ogg only IIRC).

*** I'm not able to say precisely about the resource usage, but I remember that I didn't notice any hiccups.

**** It appears that there is.
