View 2 Repliespurchased a webcam to record videos with in Ubuntu. I plugged it into the USB slot (and audio into the mic hole) and it seems to work ok. But I'd like to record a video from it and save it to a file. How can this be done?I tried Cheese and no audio was recorded.I tried GUVCView and it was fine except for slow video & audio delay.I can't find any other programs for recording webcams on Linux.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there currently any way to record a webcam video with sound? This used to be possible back in the day before PulseAudio was installed by default (by using Mencoder, following guides such as [URL] and [URL] ) but that method doesn't work any more: /dev/dsp doesn't exist. I've also tried Cheese and that again just records a video with no audio. All the articles I can find on the topic are from the good old pre-Pulse days.
I've tried messing about with the commands a bit to use the Alsa Pulse device (defined in /etc/asound.conf) since neither mencoder or ffmpeg seem to have built in Pulse input support:
Code:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg
- this works, but the audio is more than a second out of sync with the video, which is a bit useless (I'm trying to record myself playing guitar), and the video is very slow (<1 fps) for the first few seconds.
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:fps=30:forceaudio:alsa:adevice=pulse -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o test.avi
- this doesn't work, I get the following error:

I'm having a problem using cheese to record video from my webcam. The image is extremely slow to update. Especially when there is lots of movement it sometimes freezes for about a second.
When I use the webcam in Skype it works fine. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this and better yet, how to fix it.
Sound Recorder is working fine. But when try to make normal call or test call I cannot record sound my internal mic in SKYPE. As I speak something immediately the sound level of mic drops to zero. Alsa driver are installed. HDA intel conexant mic.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want my webcam to be gray-scale when I use it in Skype and with other programs. I know I can make it gray-scale with Cheese, but that is only with that program. In windows it is a program called Manycam that allows the user to play it in the background and makes the webcam gray-scale over all. Is there an equivalence to Manycam for Ubuntu?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have input the sound from my TVcard into the line-in port of my soundcard. In VLC, I could view TV signal with both video and sound but when i click on "record"it only records video without the sound at all. When I view this in pulseaudio volume control, under the recording tab, there seems to be no application taking over when I click on record button under VLC. Yet if I start up gnome-recorder, I could capture the sound when I view TV with VLC and clearly under pulseaudio volume control I see recording application is that of gnome-recorder. What's the deal here? How could I make sure under VLC it will record the sound?

SysInfo :

I tested the webcam on my Mandriva 2010 and it works just fine with UVCvideo so i decided to compile UVCVideo for the slitaz Kernel.
I downloaded the files, then uncompressed them. I cheched my kernel source and gcc,make,.... utilities. Then I typed make and ....

Do I have to install a special application? Or edit a configuration file in order to make it work?
All I can record in my computer using The Sound Recorder in Jaunty is 1. It's either MIC or an MP3. You have to turn off one to keep the other and vice versa. How do you record both?
PS I did some homework and they said I need to install a mixer. But I've tried alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer, kmix, jack, they don't the mixers that I need.
PPS I'm recording from Sound Recorder and gtk-recordmydesktop.
I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04, then rapidly to 9.10, when support for 8.10 was finally phased out. I've been trying for a few days to figure out how to record sound and can't get anything working. Sound playback works fine.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Code:
The terminal programs execute and quit after ten seconds, as expected, and create a sound of the appropriate length in my home directory, which is what I want. They don't report any errors, but the sound file they create is just soft background static with occasional soft clicks. Audacity also just records soft static with soft occasional clicks. The Gnome Sound recorder does slightly better, recording almost-intelligible sounds with bad static distortion.
I've verified that sound levels are not muted using the mixer, and have run through the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide [url]. No joy.
Here's the output of lscpi -v:
Code:
I'm having trouble recording through either my Line-In or Mic-In inputs on my laptop through Audacity.Nothing happens at all. The device options are as follows:

Is this a driver issue?
I have another issue, my microphone does not record at all!! When I try to record, it just makes this....dot. dot sound.I have a Gateway NV53 laptop with an internal microphone built in Does anyone know a solution to it?I've done some research and it all seems to end up in a dead...end. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and everything is up to date and working so far.

If I open the "sound preferences tool" the device for sound input is "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and even if I tune the volume of the microphone I don't see any movement in the input level bar. I've also checked alsamixer and the digital volum in the capture interface is set at the maximum.

I'd like to try transcribing a few of my old vinyl records to my ogg player for the car. But which application to use? Sound Recorder is there in the default install of course, but it doesn't seem to have any kind of level meter in it. I have used audacity in the past, but maybe that's overkill.
The sticky howtos don't seem to mention anything as basic as this question. Which application would you recommend?
Have you ever wanted to record a sound heard from your computer or website? If yes outRec is perfect for you. This simple but powerful application let you to record your sound card audio output easily in a few steps and save it in different kinds of formats like wav, mp3 or ogg.

To get it work you need to install the dependencies with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install sox gambas2-runtime lame mplayer libnotify-bin libmp3lame0 gambas2-gb-form gambas2-gb-desktop gambas2-gb-gui libtwolame0
After upgrade today, I cannot record sound. All the equipment works fine when I boot into Windoze...
Running Audacity from a terminal gives me this message as it starts:

Google has thrown up some old posts (some here) - none really relevant and a hint on a mailing list that it may be a bug...
Kubuntu Lucid
AMD 64 bit

Use Freecorder in Win7 to record streaming audio and save it as an mp3. Anyone know of a similar program for Ubuntu 10.04? Tried Sound Recorder but I guess that's just for a microphone. Streamripper only seems to work on ShoutCast.
