Hi Mustache,

Any word on when we will see ffvp8 codec, the alternative to Google's libvpx?

Decoder is there now:

andrew@skamandros~$ mplayer -vc help | grep ffvp8
ffvp8       ffmpeg    working   FFmpeg VP8  [vp8]

Hi
I don't seem to be able to convert audio into ogg using vorbis codec any more.

Is this problem now caused because ffmpeg hasn't been compiled with libvorbis?

That would do it.
You would want to add --enable-libvorbis to your ./configure

( Isn't in the posted karmic instr.'s but you can add w/ no issue

Hello!
I use ffmpeg for recording audio/video x11:
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/audio -f x11grab -s 1280x960 -r 24 -b 6500 -bt 712k -sameq -i :0.0 ~/out.avi

It is possible to do same thing in tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1....F6) ???

There is nothing to record in a tty, it's just text. You can use script to get a transcript of a shell session.

I don't see it, but I haven't compiled according to this thread. I used the lucidbleed experimental PPA. Are they in the latest svn?

I'm watching video file with mplayer (in a small window/ screen...), i use moc for audio file, i use fbterm +fbv for background image in tty...
But you can be more explicit with that script? An example???
Sorry for my poor english, is not my native language. I'm a noob too...
Thanks you for your answer, have a nice day!

[stressat]

Ok, i saw what doing "script", thanks, it's useful. But i want something else:
- fbgrab, scrot, import... = snapshots in tty
- ffmpeg, recordmydesktop...= audio/video record in x11
- ??? = audio/video record in tty...

Just text?

Updated the Karmic guide to include libvorbis. That should have been added a long time ago. Too many Ubuntu releases to keep up with.

No. It appears to be using the FFmpeg 0.6 branch (4:0.6-2ubuntu2~ppa1~lucid1), but I did not test this to backup my assumption. To see if your FFmpeg includes the native VP8 decoder:

$ ffmpeg -codecs 2>/dev/null | grep vp8
 D V D  vp8             On2 VP8
