video tutorial, formats and codecs

[oskude]

hi,

as i first saw the (multilangual) video tutorials for typo3, i felt in love :)

well, ive been allways a big fan of video tutorials and loved the advantage of audio visual tutorials where you allso get the "feeling" of how to deal with the "new thing"...

and, ive been experimenting with gvidcap1.1.4pre2, but was unable to sync audio to video with 2fps (in mpeg4)

so, i wanted to ask you about any pointers (lists, forums, groups, urls...) that deal with these under linux
- screen capture with 2 fps (well, i can this allready)
- audio capture [44khz, mono, 16bit] (well, i can this allready)
- editing/making a video from seperate images and audio
- video codec thats good for "screen videos"
- audio codec that can be synced to low fps video
- av container type / file format
- multilangual videos (i can think having audio and video seperate)

and yes, i prefer opensource solutions...

cheers

ps. if you want a little "howto" about gvidcap1.1.4pre2 and breezy, pm me the "correct" place where to post (but not wiki)

Are you sure you want 2 fps? Maybe you meant 20fps, because at 2fps you may as well not waste the time, just do normal screenshots and post a document instead of a video...

You might want to look at Istanbul which uses GStreamer, I don't know about muxing in audio but it should be doable. The author of that tool at least should be able to help you.

how can i add the audio in a "document" and sync the viewers eye in the right image... #-o

to lovechild:
i know "istanbul" and it gives very lousy videos and is very cpu intensive (even with "encode after grabbing")

edit:
i now found a place that has linux video tutorials http://www.about-linux.com/
but it seems to be only in german and the videos are 800x600x25fps and no audio. lol, what a waste...
(and i could play them only with avidemux, 100%cpu usage, omg)

I checked out the videos and because I am a native german speaker I recommended to them that they should also upload english versions of their tutorials so that everybody can profit from these tutorials... let's see if they like the idea....
