Fedora :: Desktop Video Capture With Very Small Output?
Jul 14, 2010
I'm trying to record my desktop and tested some solutions. While I was impressed how small .mng files could be, it is a disadvantage that I can't capture audio with it and many users won't be able to open these (browser / Windows). I have been very impressed by the xvidcap instruction videos: 4:30 in only 9MB, which makes 180MB for 90 minutes. This would be suitable. With Camtasia my professor even records 90min in 100MB. The problem is that xvidcap hasn't been updated since 2006 and seems to be dead. RecordMyDesktop needs 6MB for 1 minute or 540MB for 90 minutes, which is too much. Could anybody give me some hints on how to capture very small video files, which are still clear enough to read text in a format most users can open? It would also be cool to be able to show specific PDF or HTML pages synchronised to the video.

Anyone knows of a video capturing tool for Linux that can work like FRAPS in Windows? Basically capture a window or full workspace in video.

video playback is like I have applied a blueish sepia filter over it. And this is just the playback from totem player or mplayer, and not the playback from ..... (and generally online streaming) - this works just fine. this messy video playback also appears when I use cheese to capture video with my webcam. Note that the preview picture of the video file on nautilus has the natural colours it should have.
at first when I installed the os this particular problem didn't exist, but it came up the time I decided to follow the "comprehensive multimedia guide". So now I have all the pros of following the guide, but this is a major con...

I got a program that i run and get an output from it -> ./prog -i file-name
However I want to write a script to capture its output and write it in the output-file.txt.
How I can write the script (the-script) such that the 'file-name' treated a a variable?

I have a script that generates a bunch of output, including the expansions details provided by: set -v -xI am trying to pipe everything that is displayed to a file, in addition to displaying it on the screen. I've managed to get stderr and stdout into the file, but the expansions are only printed to the screen. Here is what I have so far:sudo -u <user> source my_job.sh |tee my_log.txt 2>&1

if I'm posting to the wrong forum. Be so kind to tell me where to better ask this question, as I'm really not finding the right words to google for.So, I have a shell application (fdb) which is a Flash debugger. I want to run it using bash script, capture it's output and pass it the commands (it can read from STDIN). The reason I want to do so is that Flash Builder (the IDE for Flash development) is plain stupid when it comes to compilation, and it won't allow me to compile any file in the project... so, I found out that I can make Eclipse to run an external tool. This external tool is my *.sh file whichches the compiler, and then it launches the debugger.The Eclipse console can display the compilation results, or errors. When I run the debugger it can even pass the input from Eclipse console to the debugger, however, the output from the debugger isn't shown.

I have this file:Code:vid-gd-19940626-peggy.rmI would like to extract the audio and copy to a file to burn on a CD.'pitivi' will load the file and show the audio timeline. But I can not find a save or copy button.'vlc' will play the file but I can not find how to seperate/save the audio.I found a 'ffmpeg' that is suppose to read whatever is being sent to your speakers.Code:ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 out.wavThis produce a file that 'mplayer', 'vlc', 'audacity' will load but it is empty of useful data. Black screen only.This is the second week I have worked on this. Either I'm googling for the wrong words or what I'm reading, I don't understand.

I would really like to capture the output of scp and my file's progress. Scp updates the transfer rate every 1 second, and I will like to save the transfer rate at every update. So for example, if the file transfer takes 30 seconds, I would like 30 reports of the transfer rate.
The output looks like:
Code:
file.dat 1% 3664KB 938.5KB/s 05:48
Whenever I try a simple redirect like:
Code:
scp file.dat 192.168.1.100:~/ &> output
... it does not save the rate at every update, it only shows the final rate.
If I try using typescript by starting "script" ... it's the same deal.

I have 3 old video capture cards which I would like to use for CCTV. Each card supports 1 camera. So I would like to have 3 cameras setup in the end and monitor them with zoneminder. When each card is plugged in on it's own, it works fine. Video comes through clearly with xawtv and zoneminder. However as soon as I plug in a 2nd card (with or without a camera connected) the output in xawtv and zoneminder goes haywire. It looks like the 2nd card takes over the first card, resulting in majority of the picture coming from the 2nd card, and some (if any) from the 1st card. When viewing either of the two cards /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 in xawtv the output is identical. I've tried this on a fresh 10.04 Ubuntu install, and on an older MythTV debian computer, the same results. Here are lspci -vv outputs with 2 combinations of cards (same fuzzy output):

My thoughts are because the capture cards are cheap (similar to winmodems), the problem may be in the software kernel modules not allowing room for other similar capture cards to run at the same time. Can anyone suggest me in the right direction? Do I need to setup some sort of memory allocation for each card manually? Something in the BIOS? An extra option when the card modules are loaded?

I'm building a Linux system specifically for video capture in prep for yet another video games review site I want to attempt. She is running Debian Sid with Enlightenment as her desktop.This system actually has two different devices that should be able to do the capture from the Wii, PS2, XBox, and other systems that can connect to it. The first is the video card itself, an ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP 4X, which has TV (aka composite) in as well as what I am guessing is S-Video in (not positive on that since the port has significantly more than 4 pins unlike the S-Video ports on my AV switch). The other is an external ATI TV Wonder USB TVWonder, which has coax, composite, and S-Video inputs.
When I installed and ran XAWTV, it crashed with a complaint that there was no video grabber device found. When I did lsusb, I saw that there was no sign of the external USB capture device. lspci showed the video card, but no mention was made of its TV capture feature. However, I am not certain if there was supposed to be any separate entries for that.So anyway, before I start bogging you all down with what may or may not be too much system data, I first need to know, is this an exercise in futility with the hardware I have? Is video capture with Linux even possible with these, or should I start shopping for something else?

I have a digital camcorder, an analog camcorder, and a set top dvr.
I want to get video and audio material from them onto my notebook (i.e. I don't have any PCI slots, etc. to plug a video capture card into).
My notebook runs kubuntu karmic Linux with Windows XP (in a VM).
It has USB 2.0, firewire, PCI card, and Express Card interfaces.
I am looking for any reasonable way to do this.
All three devices have composite video out and left and right audio out RCA jacks. The digital camcorder also has USB and firewire ports, but didn't come with any software (and AFAIK the software has long since become unavailable).
Plugging the digital camcorder into my notebook via USB or firewire cables didn't do much of anything in either Windows or Linux.
Awhile ago, I bought the Hauppauge USB-Live 2 video capture device (it's a smart cable that's supposed to convert from the RCA plugs to USB), but had no luck getting it to work in my XP vm and very limited results under Linux - with a lot of help from a fellow lug member.
Under Linux, I tried using polaris.
[url]
At this point, I just want to get the job done any way I can, but since the devices are still in use, it's not a one-shot deal, so I need a solution that will continue to work. I'd prefer it in Linux (where it would also have access to more computing power), but XP would be fine too. If I need a different interface/converter, I will buy one if it's not too expensive.
Soon, I will also have access to my partner's new notebook, but haven't reconfigured it yet. When I do, it will be running kubuntu lucid with Windows 7 in a VM.

I am getting myself set up to create a series of Linux based how to videos, with the first being on building a Debian box for general web use and document creation, etc. on "recycled" hardware, starting at the very beginning, even going so far as to include how to download a netinstall iso and make it into a burnable CD.
So anyway, one very important ability I need for this project decent video capture capability. I need to be able to capture the output of the install into a proper video format, on which I can provide commentary about what is going on on the screen.
I have another Debian box that is equipped with a bt878 TV/Video capture card, and the box I am using for the Enlightenment project I posted about many times recently has a Geforce 5600FX. Last night, I ran a cable from the S-Video out on the GeForce to the composite in on the capture card (had to go composite since I don't have an S-Video cable long enough to cross the room... Cable used has an adapter to switch to a standard RCA cable.
So, after getting the two hooked up, I got XAWTV installed on the capture box, and rebooted the other computer. With XAWTV running, I was able to see the boot up process going through the capture card. So I think I am on the right track.
But (and isn't there always a big but?), the captured video leaves a lot to be desired. Here is what the final AVI file looks like: Warning. This is a big file
As you can see, the video quality is mighty poor. And it wasn't just the final video either. It looked this bad in XAWTV as well. So, is there any way to improve the video quality in XAWTV; and also, how about increasing the app's resolution since the tiny square of video is not easily readable, and I will need it to be legible on a full size display?
If XAWTV is unable to do this, then can anyone here recommend and alternate video capture app that would be up to the task at hand? Also would like an app that will actually save my settings, as XAWTV always reverts to whatever the default settings were when I shut it down and restart it.
In addition to improving the quality of the S-Video output, I also need some recommendations on how to reduce the filesize when capturing the video. The original, before Photobucket converted it to flv was an avi file over 10MB, which is really inefficient for my needs.
Finally, can anyone recommend a PCI video card that has S-Video output (must be a 4 pin S-Video connector), and has at least 8MB of video RAM? Or does some kind soul here have one lying about that they may be willing to part with inexpensively?
So, a summary of this post...
1: How do I get XAWTV to provide S-Video capture that is actually readable?
2: How do I get XAWTV to record in a higher resolution?
3: How do I get XAWTV to save my ******** settings?
4: If any of the above 3 are not possible, what are some other alternate video capture apps to try?
5: Hook me up with a 8MB or higher PCI video card that also does S-Video out? (4 pin S-Video connector is a must).

I have created several DVDs from my camcorder (sony handycam DCR-HC21 NTSC); however, the recordings are too long. I would like to capture smaller segments of these and load them online to share with family and friends.I would like to know what is the most recommended software for this task. I am running Ubuntu 9.10.I would have done this by using a firewire cable directly attached from the camcorder to my laptop, but my laptop has only USB ports. So I ended up creating DVDs using an stand alone Video Recordable DVD Drive.

How do I capture video from my JVC GR-DF470 MiniDV camera into 10.04 Lucid.PiViTi looks good for an editing app, and I've installed OpenShot as well, but neither have a way of capturing the video from a camera. I used Kino previously in 8.04 Hardy, but it was buggy at best in 9.10 Karmic; I've just installed it in 10.04, but capture keeps stopping after 2 or 3 seconds. I also tried kdenlive, but the audio capture has a lot of 'noise' that is louder than the voices on the tape, and once it finishes capturing video, it doesn't display a 'Save' dialogue as it is supposed to - so that wasn't very successful either.So what can I use to capture video from a MiniDV Camera via Firewire.

I am working in a script I have, to capture video with sound from my capture board, wich is a clone of the pico2000. This script was working in Ubuntu 9.10 untill I reformated my machine and instaled the Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bits. The machine is an AMD Athlon II, 2.6GHz with 3 GBytes of Ram. The former script was:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
clear
SERVICE="mencoder"
MOVIE=$(date +"%H%M")

This is on Karmic Koala 9.10. The video displays fine via guvcview using a Logitech webcam. The trouble is the capturing of the video. With .AVI, I've tried different video formats (MPEG-4, flash, etc.) and none of them will play. The generated .avi file seems to grow with data, but the result is just unplayable -- it just hangs, thinking it's playing. Is there a troubleshooting page or something to figure out what the problem I'm having with guvcviewer is?

I'm using natty. is there any way to get a Pinnacle DVC 101 to capture video from composite source on Ubuntu Natty? it seems that when new releases break functionality they often are never fixed.
I'm also unaware of a simple GUI application to use in order to capture the video. It would need start and stop features.

i have used many Hex Editors in windows, almost all had comparison features, even notepad++ to an extent could do this. I have 2 binary files, i just want to compare the differences easily and graphically, in windows HexWorkshop did this with the click of a button. I have tried 5-6 editors from the ubuntu repos but none have this option
2) Is there any desktop video capturing software that are more catered for tutorials etc where the whole desktop is captured. (Camtasia for windows i know it a massive bit of kit, but thats the sort of software im on about)
I have tried recordMyDesktop, XVidCap and a few others. However, they capture XServer and therefore things like desktop effects arent recorded. I have used VLCs screen capture which to be honest is better than the other 2 software i mentioned for recording the whole screen, but options are very limited.

Does anybody know what has happened to Kino - the video capture utility? Used to be packaged by packman for Opensuse but doesn't seem to be available for 11.2.
Is there an alternative I can use for video capture - or has packman just not gotten around to adding this yet?
