Title: Recording a video of PlaneShift
Post by: potatoehead64 on April 01, 2008, 04:01:14 pm
Does anyone know of a good open source video package I could get that will record game play of PlaneShift?

I'm running the game on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.

I want to record some play to upload to YouTube.

Thanks.

Nothing comes to mind... i'm sure if you get creative you can find a way.


*cough*

xvidcap is one program you can use, but you can also use VLC media player to capture\save the screen.

You can compile psclient yourself and use Crystal Space's movierecorder plugin (http://www.crystalspace3d.org/docs/online/manual/HOWTO-Recording-Movies.html).  In my opinion this is most ideal.

xvidcap achieves framerates <10 here for me (for 1440x900-fullscreen capturing with only mouse-cursor movement), furthermore it seems capable only to capture windowed applications, capturing fullscreen applications resulted in a black screen for me.

i tried xvidcap 1.1.7~rc1-0.0 (debian unstable/sid), used the gui and with default settings (recording in mpg4-format, though set the wished framerate to 30fps). also, i find the handling of that app pretty unhandy. i would prefer having it sent into the sys-tray and started/stopped by hotkeys.

perhaps i missed some way to make it work the way i wish? lol

EDIT:
No way xvidcap will work. Tried to capture from windowed PS, which only resulted in a long still image.
