Record your desktop with recordmydesktop ;)

[neoaddict]

Hello everyone,

I can finally get sound and video working in recordmydesktop, but the sound is very... "scratchy". There's some sort of random sound in the background, but I can record the sound. Any ideas?

i've had a scratchy sound before, just adjust your mixer or specifically use gnome-alsamixer,
i forgot what option i modified to make the scratchy sound go away, but just play with it.

OK, I lowered the volume on Capture to 0, and that seems to have worked.
One final problem - the video tends to lag behind the audio for some reason, any ideas?

[loell]

are you using edgy or dapper? edgy's deb package a bit older (0.3.0) but i think 0.3.1 has already fix that problem, i'll try to make deb package for 0.3.1 edgy.

Using Edgy.

ok i'll try to make a newer edgy package later tonight

what is the output, of recordmydesktop when you record beryl?

there are no extra steps in recording beryl with recordmydesktop, in my case as well as others who posted screen recordings in this thread, just click the record button in gtk-recordmydesktop, or just invoke recordmydesktop in the command line.

sorry for late reply, output file is OGG

I'm using the following code to convert my ogg video to avi but it says: Command not found.

Code:

mencoder -idx /home/supremo/out.ogg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o /home/supremo/output.avi

My video is in my home directory and it's called: out.ogg

yeah, i haven't been clear on the video conversion, my apologies

mencoder is part of mplayer , if mplayer is installed then mencoder is installed

you can install mencoder by

sudo apt-get install mecoder
