For the time being I use <a href="http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">All to AVI</a> (Windows) and it keeps the sync proper on conversion. I've tried both ffmpeg and mp3lame with mencoder but I still get the out-of-sync audio result on conversion to MPEG format. I'm crossing fingers All to AVI Linux dev gets a *nix version released. That would be way-cool. :-) The only problem with using mencoder after creating the OGG is that the audio sync doesn’t mate up very well on the MPEG output – especially when it’s a big-res capture.

Next time, to overcome the encoding issue, setup recordmydesktop to output to out.ogg, then just create a text file with gedit, paste in this: #! /bin/sh -f cd /home/$USER/Desktop mencoder -idx out.ogg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o output.mpg Then save it as whatever.sh From here, right click on the file, goto properties and make it executable. Now double click the completed bash script, run it it terminal and boom - you are re-encoding into a YouTube acceptable format within Linux. ;) Oh, you may need to install mencoder first, however.
