My experience on the subject:

The only tool i found reliable is ffmpeg
http://www.misterhowto.com/index.php?category=Computers&subcategory=Video&article=make_a_screencast_with_linux
http://celestinestudios.com/k3d/joaquinduo/ffmpeg/

About resolution issues i haven't found any, although i think the best
size is about 800*600, bigger sizes will render too small icons and so
on. Also having a youtube/google video is a good bait in order to
convince the user to download the high resolution version.

I prefer youtube since it has many users, on my channel i already have
12 subcribers. Thats a lot compared to the videos I uploaded to google
video.
http://www.youtube.com/K3DTutorials

If you upload to youtube i can redirect from there. Or i can give you
the account password to upload directly if you like.

Cheers!
