ramonflores Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I have recently installed Mandriva Free 2010 x86_64 in a PC with a AMD Phenom II X4. I have no problems to install XvidCap, but the videos it produces are quite odd, and they do not match what happens on the screen. You can get the idea with the following picture: However, nothing better that a video recorded using XvidCap to asses the problem: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b569h5d/n/test-Xvidcap.mpeg The program does not give many clues to what goes wrong. Thus, running it from the console in verbose mode writes the following messages: [ramom@favo ~]$ xvidcap -v --audio no --gui yes Current settings: flags = 3587 capture mode = multi-frame position = 192x144+0+41 rescale output to = 100 frames per second = 10,00 file pattern = test-%04d.mpeg file format = AUTO video encoding = AUTO audio codec = AUTO verbose level = 1 frame start no = 0 frames to store = 0 time to capture = 0 sec autocontinue = no input source = shm (2) capture pointer = white capture audio = no - input = /dev/dsp - sample rate = 44100 - bit rate = 64000 - channels = 2 animate command = mplayer "${XVFILE}" & make video command= xterm -e "echo not needed for multi-frame capture; echo hit enter to dismiss; read" edit frame command= xterm -e "echo none specified; echo hit enter to dismiss; read" [ramom@favo ~]$ Any clue is welcome.

ramonflores Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Any clue is welcome. After a a thorough search I have reached the conclusion that Xvidcap isn't developed anymore, and it is not well supported in any distribution. Fortunately one of the alternatives: recordmydesktop, works well in my computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
