I haven't found any port of recordmydesktop for OS X and none of the other open source Mac options for screencasts seems to support OGG file output. I once did an audio recording of Gregor Kiczales (http://bc.tech.coop/blog/060709.html) and someone converted it to OGG format; however, he used a linux utility and I haven't found any good OS X options for outputting OGG format audio or video. I was playing around with vnc2swf (http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/) to see whether I could use that instead (it outputs screencasts in Flash swf format); however, it only worked some of the time and audio syncing (with the video) was a bit "problematic". - Bill
