(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

With slacko colours are garbled, not with other distros. It's very short video, only to show that you can comment the video
Click the bleu, on tourne !
demo with Racy

[mpeg4 @ 0x84243e0]removing common factors from framerate
Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.
XvidCap has 100% framerate succes excepted sometimes, in on pupsave, and the others are ok. I don't understand

France does not ave french spokent tutorials about Puppy Linux. All are in shakespeare dialect. Hard for many to puppy on their computer ( to puppy n'est pas un verbe ?)

Il y a un tuto très bien en français, les anglophones n'y comprendront rien. Je rigole !

Alternative to XVIDCAP : drecord, pAVrecord, Vokoscreen (QT)

But only fullscreen..

The only Retrovol or (alsa mixer) settings necessary.

Xvipcap 1.1.7 better everywhere excepted :
Slacko 5.3 / 5.3.1 ( washed colours)

complete the list, please

Be aware that your video can be read immediatly, so good as 'capture', his brother in law under Windows.

Fails on old puppies

Vokkocreen ais the same as XVIDCAP. If you are running other Qt applications, try vokoscreen, it does it well

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 388#359388 Desktop Recorder (drec) for Dpup by Gposil.
Drec 2.0 still works perfectly in 2014.Here with brand new Pupjibaro based on Precise Puppy. The size is light, in spite of full screen is captured. I don't know how to capture only a part of the screen.
Post-processing is long enough. A file .ogv is temporari stored untill process end. Then video extension becames .avi (my choice)
On the screenshot here below toutou.avi is ready for use. Toutou2.ogv is in video labratory being processed. Depending on the length, it could last 10 minutes. Be patient. It's worth of it. The videos are getting really very light.
I use Desktop Recorder version 2.0. Version 2.1 had bugs with my computer (when choosing the sizes of video)
If menu does not exec, use terminal, dpuprec

XVIDCAP sometimes gives you garbled colors. Change that with Avidemux with the color filter as shown in screenshot here below
Default can be resolved by setting xvid xvesa or xorg depth 24

Should be moved to 'Multimedia'.
Xvidcap can record full screen, just changing the selected area with your mouse.

Xenial dog, version 1.1.7a dowloaded. on test. Audio needs lame.
