Created page with "{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}  I don't have a machine fast enough to record vid..."

New page

{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}



I don't have a machine fast enough to record video from the desktop at anything greater than about 2 FPS. From what I've seen, the common way to make nethack videos is to record the desktop while playing back a ttyrec file at a certain speed. This doesn't work for me because my machine isn't fast enough to capture the desktop at a reasonable speed.

It seems there should be some VLC plugin or other method of directly converting a ttyrec file to ogg video or another format. 20 minutes of webcrawling hasn't turned up anything. Does anyone know of a solution?

-::::OK, the diff against the IPBT svn head is [http://bilious.homelinux.org/~paxed/code/ipbt-screenshotting.diff here]. It adds a new commandline switch -S (which takes a number as a parameter), and will invoke /usr/bin/scrot for each frame of the ttyrec. --[[User:Paxed|paxed]] 15:16, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
