Comments and Reviews
Vokoscreen is the best GUI frontend for FFMPEG when it comes to screen recording in my personal experience. If you've been using RecordMyDesktop, I seriously suggest changing to this now.
Pros:
Works well on Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04.
Able to record fullscreen games.
Hardly takes up any resources.
Simple to use GUI.
Able to record sound as well as video, and mic all in one go.
Supports Alsa and Pulseaudio.
Cons: Only way to install it is via PPA currently. Audio can go out of sync sometimes.
If you'd like to see how it records games, check out my Youtube channel. I try to record as many games on Ubuntu, with highest graphics settings in Fullscreen, and I use Vokoscreen for pretty much all of them now. I used to use RMD, not anymore though.

Si funciona..., pero le cuesta a mi pc procesarlo. Si tienes un equipo potente, te ira bien
Very clean and simply does what you want. I was inclined to write this review purely because the installer is very nice (Windows), other software installers should take notes. Unfortunately I had to switch to OBS Studio because for some reason I could not find a way to change bitrate or frames with this, there is limited codecs, at least when you install it maybe you can get more, and I also had trouble with the annotations, seemed to bug, however I was using a beta version. For this reason I'm giving 4 stars, I may be back to give it ago in the future and I definitely recommend you try it.
Best Open source Screen Recorder
Open source, can record audio and the webcam (unlike Peek), can show mouse click overlays. v3.2 supports multiple monitors.
Easy to use interface, simply just hit record and when recording stopped a video file is emitted. It's as simple as that, and useful too
An easy alternative for Windows of RecordMyDesktop
