xvidcap.sourceforge.net
Multiple regular-video formats. Simple and works.
2007-04-28 – While it works if compiled (slowly) from source, and can sync audio properly now that I’ve tried it again.. it can’t capture a reasonable-sized screen. It doesn’t even get the aspect ratio right.
xvidcap (gvidcap) – says it can record audio, and it can, but it doesn’t do it right. I have to research this problem.

Laggy!

Well now, it comes with PCLinuxOS as of 2007-TR4. Cool.
\apt-get install xvidcap ffmpeg
(FFmpeg)
Do I have to install libavformats50? It didn’t make a difference.
It doesn’t work.. I see no movie making features. It doesn’t let me pick codecs. It’s busted.

I’m guessing other libraries should be there.. like the ogg libraries or mp3lame libraries. Hrm.
Well, it works. Just don’t try to record any video or audio.
- I can record a corner of an xterm in all black and hear my voice.
- I can record a very small area and animation is synced up nicely. Anything larger does not seem to work properly.
- Movies don’t have the proper aspect ratio. What the heck is with that??
- Setting the quality lower just screws everything up somehow.
- It pauses for a while before starting. What’s with that?
-
It cuts off the end sound and video too short.
