Better idea: record the video straight from the presenter's laptop,
using http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/

The Ubuntu demo team uses this.  Their writeup is at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts
(it's scary because they also document how they create
screencasts of installing new operating systems, which involves
virtual machines; that's not needed for screencasting plain
old demos or talks.)

I'll see if I can get that working on my laptop, and maybe put
up some simplified instructions.
