Bug Description
kazam --version
kazam 0.12~ppa1
(from bigwhale ppa)
I'm not sure if it is kazams fault or a problem with Unity. On my machine the resulting video is very choppy compared to the results I got with prior versions of kazam in natty. Maybe webm is a bad choice of codecs? Can we go back to x264 and mkv somehow?

Can you give a little bit of info on your hardware and resolutio you were recording at?
The problem with x264 was that it didn't work out of the box on clean Ubuntu (or Mint) install and that current ffmpeg support wasn't really elegant. Executing ffmpeg binary in separate threads isn't the best way to do things.
VP8 encoding is still quite demanding on the resources. I never experienced problems on my computer but I'm testing on quad i5.
