I'm trying to do a screen capture with gtk-recordmydesktop and other capture tools but for some reason, it will not capture an output screen while its running. It captures one screen but doesn't show the rest. I can capture my screen running if I use my flip camcorder but recordmydesktop will not work. Is there a way to capture live video playing on the desktop without using an outside camera?

What do you mean about "it captures one screen but it doesn't show the rest"? Do you have more screens, with more monitors attached to your computer or what that "more screens" would mean? – LGB Mar 17 '11 at 16:57
