Description: 
                   Kazam v1.4.2 "NCC-2000"
        
        
        Introduction
        ------------
        
        Kazam is a simple screen recording program that will capture the content
        of your screen and record a video file that can be played by any video
        player that supports VP8/WebM video format.
        
        Optionally you can record sound from any sound input device that is
        supported and visible by PulseAudio.
        
        
        Latest version
        --------------
        
        Kazam is always available from Launchpad under https://launchpad.net/kazam
        
        Latest stable release is 1.4.2.
        Latest unstable release is 1.3.99
        
        
        Installation - stable release
        -----------------------------
        
        If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 then stable version (1.0.x)
        is available from universe repository. You can find it in Ubuntu Softare
        Center or install it from the terminal with the following command:
        
        $ sudo apt-get install kazam
        
        For other Ubuntu based distributions the best way to install Kazam is
        to add a PPA repository and then use apt-get command or Software Center.
        
        $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/stable-series
        $ sudo apt-get update
        $ sudo apt-get install kazam
        
        For distribution independent installation you will have to get the latest
        tarball release from Launchpad:
        
        http://launchpad.net/kazam/stable/1.4.2/+download/kazam_1.4.2.tar.gz
        
        Unpack it and then run setup:
        
           $ tar -xzf kazam_1.4.2.tar.gz
           $ cd kazam-1.4.1
        
        Run installation as root user, or use sudo:
        
           # python3 setup.py install
        
        
        Installation - unstable version
        -------------------------------
        
        Installing current unstable build from a PPA can be done by adding
        unstable series PPA.
        
        $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/unstable-series
        $ sudo apt-get update
        $ sudo apt-get install kazam
        
        
        Installation - development version
        ----------------------------------
        
        If you want bleeding edge, development version then you will have to get
        source code from Launchpad by running the following command:
        
           $ bzr branch lp:kazam
        
        Then you need to run setup.py to build and install Kazam:
        
           $ cd kazam
           # python3 setup.py install
        
        You will have to run setup as root user or use sudo. Default installation
        path is /usr/local.
        
        
        Running Kazam
        -------------
        
        If you want to run Kazam from the source tree, there are a few limitations
        that you have to take into account. Every icon has to be taken from
        currently installed icon theme. Toolbars will not show any icons and you
        will not see Unity AppIndicator.
        
        To run Kazam simply execute te following commands in the source tree:
        
        $ cd bin
        $ ./kazam
        
        If you already have Kazam installed then Kazam icons will be displayed
        properly.
        
        
        Keyboard shortcuts
        ------------------
        
        SUPER-CTRL-Q - Quit
        SUPER-CTRL-W - Show/Hide main window
        SUPER-CTRL-R - Start Recording
        SUPER-CTRL-F - Finish Recording
        
        Keyboard shortcuts will work if you installed Kazam 1.4.x from a PPA,
        keybinder 3.0 is now a dependency and will be installed automatically.
        
        From Ubuntu 12.10 keyboard binder is available in the universe repositories.
        
        
        Known Issues
        ------------
        
        - Support for multiple monitors is there, but your mileage may vary. It
        was tested only on two screen setup where both screens are side by side.
        
        - Trouble with recording audio from certain Monitor sources. I noticed
        this with Logitech G110 USB Keyboard that can play audio. Pulse
        Audio will see two devices: USP PnP Stereo Device and 'Monitor of USB PnP
        Stereo Device'. When recording from the monitor, volume controls for
        both devices will affect the volume in the final recording.
        
        - I have no idea where to put Mute/Unmute button, so right now every audio
        source you select is automatically unmuted.
        
        - It was reported that sound is disappearing after couple of minutes into
        the recording. I wasn't able to reproduce this bug and any more info is
        appreciated. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/kazam/+bug/933835 for more
        details.
        
        - Memory leaks. When it leaks, it leaks a lot. Avoid using VP8/WEBM for
        recording and you will do mostly fine.
        
        - Non compositing window managers are not able to render transparent
        windows. Area selection and countdown timers will be affected by this.
        Mint users can turn on window compositing in Desktop Settings.
        
        - When taking a screenshot of a preselected window with window decoration
        you have to make sure that your window is not covered by other windows.
        
        
        Recording Tips
        --------------
        
        Framerates above 20fps are unlikely to work well because of software and
        hardware limitations. If you increase framerate and framerate in
        resulting video drops, that is because encoder can't keep up.
        
        Always do a sound check. Especially if you are recording a live commentary
        with background sound. I got the best results when I used earphones to listen
        to the audio while recording. This way your mic will not pick up any audio
        coming from speakers.
        
        
        Debugging & reporting problems
        ------------------------------
        
        If you encounter a bug or any kind of unexpected behavior please try to
        reproduce it while you run Kazam from standard terminal with --debug option.
        Use Launchpad to report bugs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/kazam/+filebug) and
        include generated output.
