That is convenient - you can listen to music of your choice with your right ear . . .

I am currently using Racy 5.2.9 and I am getting an error:

Dont be ashamed. Install the new version of ffmpeg.

# ./configure --prefix=/usr --cpu=i486 --enable-shared --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --disable-ffplay --enable-x11grab --enable-small --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-zlib --enable-postproc --disable-debug --enable-bzlib --enable-version3 --enable-libtheora --enable-swscale --enable-network --enable-libcdio

What error do you get in console.
If I suspect that something is missing but I cant get grap of it...I test with strace command system calls output, in console: strace ffmpeg +the+options+for+ffmpeg
I have managed to solve some really strange missing files problems this way.

Dpup Exprimo launched gtkdialog apps 2.5 times slower than in other puppies.
strace some-gtkdialog-app showed that there was system call to the gconv-modules.cache and that call was unanswered. File not found with every location search. I installed that file and boom...gtk-dialog-apps started to behave.

Here's the console output.

I've tried running with strace (not too sure what I am doing, but I tried to make a ffmpeg command similar to that in the script).
Edit I think the problem is with x264. I don't know how to fix it. I installed the x264 package from the repos, but that didn't help.

Fine job on your recgui.zip Lobster.Works a treat in Slacko 5.3.1
Unfortunately it is a no go in Puppy Studio 3.3
The line in pup_rec, /usr/local/lib/gegl-0.1/ff-load.so was not available
because this directory structure in Studio3.3 is
/usr/local/lib/gegl-0.0/NO ff-load.so
I made a directory gegl-0.1 and installed ff-load.so.Still no joy.
so then I installed complete gegl-0.1 in 3.3 but still no luck.Not saving
video1.I turned my attention in 3.3 to rs and this was the message.Using
./rs this message appeared at the bottom" Unknown input format:'x11grab'
What this means is not clear to me but it has been fun anyway. Thanks
for all your effort and I guess now it is more Google search time.

For get X11grab to work i had to compile --with-pic .

x11grab showed up as configured but did not work for me either configured otherwise ,

Here is a pet with a modification of Karl Godt's code from this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=75139

If the pet does not work, it means that the installed ffmpeg does not support x11grab.

Just tested this pet in precise 5.5 and it works great
Found the script in /usr/bin and had a little look at it in geany. Its amazing, wish I could bash like that...

Just about to add this to the wikka.

I was very suprised that FFMPEG is able to record screencast
Sure, FMPEG does it but how ?
Xvidcap 1.1.7 xvidcap 1.1.6 or Pup-record do that
Record my desktop too
FFMPEG vidcap requires X11 grab, but it is a new item ( i did not know it).

Wednesday : FFMPEG vidcap tested and it works fine.
