I use record mydesktop to record what i do in mydesktop. But when i stop record. This box appear. I wait... wait... and wait. But the process encode never complete .
View 5 RepliesI've been hunting around for some screen capture software in Ubuntu, for future screencasts and out of the handful I've tried I've gone with gtk-recordmydesktop. After initial problems with recording quality, I have managed to get everything working but have noticed that on playback of any captured video, is played back at a crazy speed, the frame rate is not the issue as it is on the default 15 FPS setting but still the play back is very fast.
I noticed before my tweaking that playback was normal speed, but the quality was garbage, and I found that this was because of Compiz being enabled, and I have to run gtk-recordmydesktop with "Encode on the fly" and "Full shots at every frame" enabled in order for the video playback to not be all cut up, however ever since encoding on the fly has been enabled, this has caused playback to be hilariously fast.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Compiz enabled. With an nVidia GPU (8200 M)
I like to make tutorials on several different things, and since I'm a ubuntu user now, I found Record my Desktop. The thing is, When I stop the video, the encoder takes FOREVER! I left it there for over 5 minutes and it's still at 0%.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently tried out recordMyDesktop (not the GTK+ frontend, just the CLI program, I wanted to Keep It Simple this time ), and found that the videos it records/encodes show massive motion-smearing artifacts when played back. This is without the "--on-the-fly-encoding" option; with it, the video looks fine (i.e. has no artifacts other than the typical ones found in any compressed video), but it plays back too quickly (the time-step between frames is too high, thus making everything go too fast when the video is played back, even though the frame rate is low). Here's a screenshot of the video playing, showing what the artifacts look like (they're nasty!).
I've searched Google and LQ about this problem to no avail: either there were no relevant results, or it was just a post on a different forum asking basically the same question, but with no answer. So apparently this problem is either really rare, or it's something specific to my configuration, and mine alone (highly unlikely).
System specs:
CPU: Intel� Core� i5 430M @ 2.27 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce� 310M w/ 512 MiB VRAM
RAM: 4 GiB
Command used to record:
Code:
recordmydesktop --fps 30 --no-sound --no-frame --overwrite -o /home/mrcode/Videos/capture.ogv
I've tried different options, such as --quick-subsampling, as well as tweaking the video quality and bitrate settings (--v_quality and --v_bitrate), all of which did nothing to change/get rid of the artifacts.
It is well known that mencoder can be used to encode video to be burned on DVD with a tool like dvdauthor. The whole procedure is described here:
7.8. Using MEncoder to create VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant files
Sound for a DVD is normally encoded with AC3. I encountered some cases where the encoded sound was badly distorted. As it seems, the default for the input changed to float at some point. The fix for this is to use:
Code:
acodec=ac3_fixed
instead of "acodec=ac3".
I'm trying to encode a video using only one image during a complete audio file, but a can't find the way to do it. What I need to do is to extend the duration of the frame up to the duration of the audio file. How do I do that with mencoder?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows machine with a 2TB hard drive containing several raw videos I want to encode with Handbreak. I have two laptops I want to use to cut down on the time. These laptops have very small hard drives, and probably can't hold more than one or two videos at a time. I was wondering if there is a way to keep all the videos on my Windows machine and just use the laptop's to encode over the network, or at least have it automatically copy the raw videos, and put the encoded ones back as needed. Long story short: one big hard drive, three CPUs to encode, need to split the work up quickly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an app or find parameter that can search for video files using a specific (DivX for example) encoding? On Windows, you can do this, so I was hoping there would be some way on Linux whether it's with find or another app. I want to find all (*.avi OR *.divx) on my file system with the DiVX fourcc tag (i think that's what its called)

As you can probably see the audio codec is not supported. Is there a way to encode WMV3+wmap with ffmpeg or any other tool in Linux? Windows Media Encoder in Windows is able to encode such files to a supported codec. For example: WMV3+WMA2/WMV2+WMA2, I could then encode it in Linux. I'm trying to find a way to directly encode WMV3+wmap in Linux.
I'm trying to encode music videos in a way I can watch them on my Zicplay Zicone Mp4 player. This player seem to have a Rockchip RKNano chipset and is said to support mpeg4 videos. The sample video that came with it seem to have been encoded with xvid and has a resolution of 160x128@15fps. Audio seems to be mp2.
However, when I encode a video with mencoder it will play but with video only sporadically showing and playing way to fast. Does someone know if some special options are required? I'd prefer not to use the Windows utility that came with it.
Recordmydesktop sounds great. I installed it in F14 with both the gtk and the qt gui. Both of them start the recorder, but I can't find any way to stop it.
I really thought something like this would have some reasonable controls, like a time I could set for it to stop, on some way to stop it manually, but the only way I can find to stop it is to kill the process. If this were true then it would be junk, so surely there is some way to control it.
I've been watching some tutorials, which, I am told, were made with recordmydesktop. It looks as if it would be useful, but I don't have a microphone.
I am running Fedora 14 on a Dell Precision workstation. I was able to install recordmydesktop without difficulty. Does anyone have any microphones to recomened?
I am happy to connect it to the mic port in back or to use a USB microphone. What might be the advantages and disadvantages of each. Which would be easiest to setup on my machine?
I use the script h264enc (installed from the repos) to encode my dvds into avi and mp4. It was working flawlessly under 9.10, now I get the error that MEncoder doesn't support AAC encoding? I have installed all the restricted drivers and I can play dvds, mp4's, .

I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool. Dolphin / Konqueror auidiocd:// KIO slave shows the mp3 folder, but when you move the tracks you get: Could not read some_song.mp3: encoding failed WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the IP address of the traffic that has been stored. I have tried different commands:

however, either from these two commands end up with a following error:
[code]...
when I searched for a solution and generic commands I used those two websites: website1 website2 Commands have been tested using a casual user account as well as a privileged one (root).
i just had to switch from 10 to 11 until 12 comes out, and after setting up asterisk, i noticed VERY VERY BAD sound quality, mostly comprised of severe jittering. I noticed that the way Fedora lets you work with your sound devices in 11 is way different (nicer, but obviously not complete) than ever before, and i am using the same asterisk configs as before, so i'm positive that this is NOT an asterisk issue, and does NOT really belong in this forum; however, only asterisk users will be able to replicate or identify with this issue.
Have any of you 11 users had this happen to you, and if so, did you figure out how to solve it? I'm sure that i can *try* adjusting asterisks jitter buffer settings, but like i said, it was NEVER an issue before 11... Another clue would be that i cannot get crap like gtk-recordmydesktop to produce sound (but that may very well be another issue; however i doubt it)...
First and foremost is Avidemux. Somewhere between Fedora 11, 12 and 13 Avidemux lost the capability to encode audio streams in AAC format. I've installed all pertinent packages for it and for AAC, and even though AAC is available to other programs (Banshee, SoundJuicer, etc), alas it is not in Avidemux. I read somewhere that since the newer version of Avidemux now uses a plug-in architecture, support for a lot of formats might be missing as they get ported.
I use Avidemux as usually I rip my DVDs into .mp4 files which I serve up from a Linux box at home and stream them to my PS3, or simply to load a bunch onto my laptop to watch on the move or when I'm on call at the hospital (like I am right now)...
Kind of related to this that I remember not too long ago, I was able to convert a DVD into PSP's mp4 format from DVD::Rip, IIRC directly from the application, but last time I used it, it only seems to have support for AVI, OGM and MPEG container formats. Maybe somthing changed along the way that I'm not aware of.
It looks to boil down to the fact that the package avidemux-plugins from RPMFusion is missing the necessary plugin... I'll go check why is that.
I am experiencing some difficulties accessing some of my drives which have folders/files whose names include special characters. That problem has appeared just now, in Fedora 11, and just in XFCE4 (it somehow got stuck with the English default). In neither GNOME nor KDE happens.
The problem is not narrowed down to Thunar because even the terminal fails to recognize the special characters in XFCE4.
I guess that is simply solved by editing some configuration file, but I can't seem to find it.
What do I need to do to allow XFCE4 recognize special characters?
EDIT: It's definitely XFCE4, because if I open Thunar or xterm from GNOME, they recognize special-characters-filenames very well.
I am having a problem with my web server. On index.html, it should say "Welcome to my website! More coming soon!" but instead, in Firefox, if I go through my server by going to eggbertx.linium.net or localhost, it shows this:
[Code]...
I know it isn't the file, because the file looks normal if I open it by going to /var/www/html/index.html I looked at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and it says that it is using UTF-8, which I'm pretty sure is normal. I don't remember it doing this before I installed kdewebdev and ran Quanta Plus, although I have no idea how it could have caused this. Has this happened to anyone else?
I have two machines in a local network and want to share files among them. Since I don't want to bother configuring NFS right now I am using ssh and scp to transfer files among them. There is a little problem though: the machines have different *nixes. One machine has Fedora 12 (Spanish) and the other one has PCBSD 7.1.1 (English).The problem is that both machines have different character encoding and while the Fedora machine can perfectly handle names with special characters, the BSD machine can't and in fact upon doing ssh to the Fedora machine filenames (with special characters) appear wrong and prove difficult to work with.
