RecordMyDesktop / XVidcap Don't work to record Virtualbox window

I installed both versions (GTK & QT) of RecordMyDesktop, and XVidcap but when I record a Virtualbox window the video only captures the first frame.

I am using KDE if that matters.

Anybody know an app that I can use to record my screen that may also work for recording a Virtualbox screen?

Thanks

ffmpeg (in my case:  ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1280x960 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 capt.avi). You nead pavucontrol to select audio stream.
