Solution #2:
Add a "record video" button inside the "Take Screenshot" program
Written by

When opening the "Take Screenshot" program the user should be able to switch between “take a screenshot” or “take a video”. The other option should be the same as they are right now, except a menu in the video mode to regulate the video compression rate.
The video should be saved as ogg. This function would give the user a function that a lot of people are missing in a basic installed operating system – taking a screencasts.
Maybe add the “Audi-Recorder” to the same program dialog, so that we have only one program for all three needs.
On the other hand I'm thinking that this could also be a way to add more open source material into the main stream (Firefox 3.5 will support ogg).

Unix philosophy, "Do one thing and do it well".
No bloat.

I'm for it because they only want a button to enable it. It is an intuitive extension to previous behavior.

I agree with snadrus. The tool is already there and being "done well", it just needs to be integrated.

I like it. The screenshot button is already on the keyboard the logical evolution would be to also be able make a screencast.
It could be an additional feature like the synchronising with an internet time server.
After pressing the scrennshot button, click "Make Screencast" -> "You need to install GTK-record-my-desktop. Do you want to continue?"

When pressing the screenshot button I do it because I want to show others what I see (and not specially because I wanna create an Image). Would it be not consistent to provide screencast function too? Moving images are sometimes better.
