I used to do it using vncrec tied to x11vnc (which exports your existing session using XSHM). I then 
used transcode to convert it to an mpeg and multiplex in the separately recorded mp3 audio.

There may have been an intermediate step there where vncrec or one of it's relatives or offspring 
provided a piped YUV12 output into transcode, but it was a couple of years ago now.

In any case, it can be done and in this case allowed us to give flash looking DVD's to the client 
and prodded them to pay their bills (which is no mean feat around here I can tell you).
