Description tglman 2013-05-31 12:31:29 UTC 
if is not installed XDG folders, or at least is not configured an XDG Video Folder the built-in recording fail without any message, just not start!

would be nice if is missed the XDG configuration that will store the generate video file in the user home.

I usually don't use XDG folders layout because don't match my needs, but in this case i had to install it because of this bug.

A similar behaviour happen with the screenshot, but in this can be fixed with an xsettings property. this is a suggestion of fix ;)
