Artificial Intelligence Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hallo there :) I was thinking of making a film about my desktop to show off to friends and families,but I don't really know what kind of software I have to use to do that. Is it possible at all? .:=The AI Dude=:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Yes, you can do that. However, there is no sound, but I read an article about it or so where multiple solutions where proposed. xvidcap captures in mpeg-4 This is another one: http://desktops.linux.com/desktops/04/07/2...242.shtml?tid=6, but there are tools to convert vieo-files to flash ... if this will work for you is another thing ... Hopes this helps a bit. I'm not sure of the following sinc eI don't use Mandrake anymore, but you maybe can try it ... This way you maybe also get an answer quicker. Ofcourse you can ask here and maybe get more applications and comments about what to use "best" ... If you ever want to search for a tool ... you can fire up Mandrake's software-installer. You can select to search through descriptions of packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 AI - its easy! How I did it: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=14593 step 1: setup contrib as urpmi source step 2: #urpmi xvidcap step 3: run: gvidcap (its included) (You might need to install nvidia/ati drivers to get good performances, but you can try without) Download my test file, its about using gvidcap ;-) http://home.tiscali.nl/berenstraat/test2.avi Have fun!

chris:b Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Forgot: you can record sound or your voice giving instructions and integrate it. But I didn't try so far. If I remember well, there are two options, a separated sound file, that you can merge, or recording (krec or something like that or just rec on commandline) using a microphone.

Artificial Intelligence Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 It works! :) Though I still don't understand/figure out how to add the desktop sound to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm puzzled , what's wrong with it? then I tried to install rpm of gvidcap separately,but it need ffmpeg-devel, when I tried to intall ffmpeg-devel, a lot of other files were needed. It nearly made me mad! would you like to give me a hand? thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It nearly made me mad! would you like to give me a hand? thanks all <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From the xvidcap webpage: gvidcap complains about "relocation error: gvidcap: undefined symbol: __fixunsdfdi" That's bad. It is something to do with an incompatibility of the libgcc versions used on my development machine and the machine you want to run gvidcap on. The symbol complained about is visible on my machine and should not. It seems to have been hidden in recent versions of libgcc. Use the Mandrake rpm's in contrib, and only those. I can only report that it works in Mandrake 10.0 Don't use cooker, don't mix your system with rpm's for different distributions or different mandrake versions.
