How to record screen in video to report bugs in Ubuntu interface?

Question

I would like to find some standard way of recording my screen, since I would like to report some bugs in the user interface and its typing system with Dvorak keyboard layout. The cursor location is unstable in many locations. I would like to find some community guidelines how you want video to be recorded.

How can you record screen in video suitable for reporting bugs in Ubuntu interface?
