Recording the desktop using istanbul

[Marcelo Magno T. Sales]

Hi,

I'm trying to save the activity of my desktop to a video file using 
istanbul. However, after stopping the recording, its icon just shows a 
balloon saying "In the process of saving to disk" when I hover the 
mouse over it and does nothing more. It doesn't ask me where to save 
the file, it does not create any file anywhere I'm aware of and it does 
not finishes saving.
Am I missing something here? Is there another software available in 
Fedora repositories to record a session to a video file?

Thanks, 

Marcelo
