View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a screen capture program with Xvfb server, ImageMagick and Khtml2PNG. I seem to be having some issues and was hoping someone could help me out. I have everything installed and working on a centos WHM/CPanel system and am able to generate the screen shots and save them to root folder from shell with the following commands.
Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24&
export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0
khtml2png2 --sw 200 --sh 150 http://www.example.com example.png
It works 100% fine when you run it from shell.

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.

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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to capture the video from my sat box using an extra laptop I have and then distribute a live feed on my network so that I can watch tv on my laptop around the house. I want to use an old Dell X300 with a broken screen. It's not too powerful with a 1.2GHz Pentium M and 640MB ram. I was thinking of throwing Zubuntu or something lighter weight on it. I'll use a usb capture card that will support S-video. I am sure there are plenty of those that will be compatible with Linux. What I need to know is what capture software should I use?
Is there any capture software that will transmit over a network as a live feed? Is my laptop even powerful enough to do what I'm asking? This thing had no problem playing back 480p but capturing, encoding, and distributing over a network is another story. Are there any usb capture cards that use hardware encoding? Would installing a lighter weight distro be necessary in order to gt laptop performance boost it needs to handle what I want to do? And what of software to receive the stream? VLC should have no trouble connecting to the stream right? How about SMPlayer?

I am trying to configure my Kubuntu desktop since some time to have Mumble working perfectly... It was running in the past, i re-installed some days ago and now i have a huge problem. Basically, capturing the microphone works and it's sent to Mumble, however everybody also hears my desktop sound. I tried adjusting channels in KMix with no luck. Also i don't understand why the capture channels are enabled and must stay at minimum volume...

I recently converted an amd 64 bit WINdows machine to Lucid 64 bit. Everything has gone well. I had numerous issues with Pulseaudio that I removed it. Sound with Alsa has been great, including system theme sounds. I can record via a mike as well. What I cannot do is to capture sounds coming through the sound card. When I record I am getting empty files. The mixer indicates that there are two capture devices. Here is some data on my audio card.

I'm trying to capture my desktop sound (Video too, but that part's working) but nothing I try works. I've tried various programmes, none of them work. I tried various things I read on different websites, and nothing worked. I noticed /dev/dsp was missing, and put it back by a guide, but that made no difference and disappeared again now I rebooted anyway

My capture card that I am having issues with is a Hauppauge Wintv-HVR-1850 card, I followed the instructions on installation from linuxtv.org and did not get any errors. I tried to set up Mythtv and it didn't get a signal and couldn't find any channels. I would like to know if my card is even working so I tried using xawtv but still could not get a signal from my card.
how I can verify that my card is installed correctly?
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?

Anybody had any success in getting ffmpeg to work as advertised with video capture from a webcam? I really want to convert the webcam output to VP8 or H264, but apparently ffmpeg can't even capture the webcam with a video4linux device.
Code:
I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 on an ASUS Eee 1215T; the sound hardware on the system is a Realtek ALC259, and there's also sound output through HDMI with an ATI RS690/780 HDMI chip (both according to alsamixer). I was recently fiddling with the sound settings to try to get sound output through the HDMI port. I was successful in that, but I can no longer record sound using the built-in microphone. I'm pretty sure this is something I messed up, since sound recording worked correctly when I first installed Xubuntu, but I'm not sure what I need to do to fix it. I've tried all the promising-looking settings in gnome-volume-control and xfce4-mixer to no avail, and alsamixer also shows everything, both playback and capture, at 100% volume and un-muted; alsamixer also shows that the capture is turned on. I only used these tools (gnome-volume-control, xfce4-mixer, and alsamixer) to get the HDMI output working.

I wanted to share this nifty technique I came across for capturing video using the command line. The problem: I have a bunch of old VHS tapes (remember those...?) and need to get them digitized. I have a VCR, and a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge which captures video to DV over Firewire (IEEE1394). I first tried using Final Cut Pro, but it wouldn't capture, perhaps because it expects a controllable DV camera, and the Dazzle isn't a DVC device. I then tried my other favorite video editing app, Kdenlive, but it seemed to have the same problem.
I took a quick stab at the other common editors in the repositories (Kino, Openshot, etc.), but no luck with any of them. Then I remembered the dvgrab command, and gave that a shot and it worked, giving me a nice .dv file. However, DV makes pretty big files, which I wanted to compress down to something more manageable. Since I was going to be digitizing hours and hours of tapes, it would be great if I could compress while capturing. A little more googling and I had the answer - you can pipe dvgrab directly into ffmpeg! Here's the command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k -y output.mov
the first part starts the capture, in DV1 format, and outputs it to a pipe file. usually you give dvgrab a filename, like
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 capture.dv
the second part does the encoding:
-f dv: use DV format
-i -: input from the pipe
-b 2000k: video encoding bitrate of 2000k/sec, high quality
-ab 512k: audio encoding bitrate
-y: overwrite file if it exists
I didn't set the codec explicitly, for Quicktime it defaults to MPEG4. This worked great, capturing a 2-hour tape into a high-quality quicktime around 2GB. But I also wanted to be able to view the capture while it was going. Since I left the field monitors and audio splitters at the office, I had to figure out how to do this in software. Turns out that the "tee" command does exactly what I needed - the shell never ceases to amaze! Here's the full command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | tee >(ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k output.mov) >(playdv --disable-audio --no-mmap)
tee uses the
Code:
>(command)
syntax to pipe simultaneously to multiple processes. The only thing that didn't work was audio playback, which was choppy and introduced errors in the capture file. I think a little tweaking with the capture rates could fix that.
Up untill this week I used to grab a streamed video from my root/tmp file. Video is nolonger streamed to this file. What has happened? and how can I grab streamed video?
