Bug Description
Binary package hint: recordmydesktop
When recording the screen with recordmydesktop, it inconsistently drops frames, leading to a recording that is randomly out of sync with any other recordings (such as a video camera). At first I thought it was related to CPU use, but even with an idle system it lost nearly 30 seconds of frames over an hour. To test, I used the following
recordmydesktop --no-sound & sleep 3600s && killall recordmydesktop -SIGTERM;
Which produced a file about 59:30 long (according to Totem).
