Ubuntu Video Capture
Ubuntu Video Capture
Anyone know an elegant/good way to capture video from an Ubuntu desktop? I've been trying to use VLC, but there's no sort of simple preset that produces nice video...

Re: Ubuntu Video Capture
I've been through a few programs in Ubuntu and the only one that works the way I want seems to be:
gtk-recordMyDesktop 0.3.8: a graphical frontend for recordMyDesktop
http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net
This was the only one I found that would actually record things I was working on (python, openGL, c++/SDL applications).
Give that a whirl and see what happens.

Re: Ubuntu Video Capture
I always add problems with gtk-recordMyDesktop... the output movie was choppy.
I remember I tried record myself playing Tales of Monkey Island (Cap. 3) to show that it was possible to finish a puzzle picking up 100.000 copy of an item (of course I was altering the memory value...). The results were unacceptable...
gtk-recordMyDesktop works fine to you?

Re: Ubuntu Video Capture
It was the only one that worked, and by worked I mean able to record the things I was doing. The recoders would just record the desktop but my application would be a black square, obviously it was not taking that into account.ezzetabi wrote:gtk-recordMyDesktop works fine to you?
in recordMyDesktop, I turn off the sound and record at 5fps (acceptable for demonstration and demos), I have not tested above 30fps but performance was good.

Re: Ubuntu Video Capture
Something I just stumbled upon: GLC "FRAPS for linux" or "an ALSA & OpenGL capture tool for Linux."

I've not tested it, but apparently it is 'good'.

Re: Ubuntu Video Capture
vlc accepts screen:// as input. It might be interesting too.

That is also interesting, but glc pulls direct from out of GPU which is nice.ezzetabi wrote:vlc accepts screen:// as input. It might be interesting too.

You really see it the 'pauses' when loading zones, the buffer is nuked the video/screen frame goes nuts for a second then continues on.

This sounds like a lot of fun.BrotherBrick wrote:You really see it the 'pauses' when loading zones, the buffer is nuked the video/screen frame goes nuts for a second then continues on.
I'll have to check it out if I ever get time.
