recordmydesktop records the desktop in fast mode

Hi, Im not sure how to explain myself, but I will try.

I tried to record my desktop with "recordmydesktop". It worked... did the job, but the video when I watch it, it's like in fast mode... everything in the video moves like 2x-3x times faster then how actually should be.

Also this happens if I use 15 frames/sec or 25 frames/sec.

Does anyone know why is this happening, or can give me a better tool for recording the desktop.

Tried already istanul, but doesn't really do it, it crashes when trying to save the video.

Any idea is welcomed :)

NOTE: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on 64bits, if it matters.

Thanks!

I've had this exact same problem, and turning off encoding on the fly seemed to restore the video's speed for me. However, I also got massive artifacts (think smearing) when I did it that way. Yours could be different, though.

If you're not afraid of the command line I'd suggest just doing this with ffmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s <screen resolution here> -r <FPS here> -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads <CPU cores here or 0 for autodetect> <output filename>.mkv

Just replace the sections in brackets with what applies to your machine, and it'll record a full-screen lossless video of your desktop (no sound though). You can then convert this to whatever you want. :)

Take a look at this site if you're interested in recording with sound/converting to different formats.

HTH :D

Thanks, but even if using ffmpeg, the video seems a bit fast. I mean Im trying to go slow, but ... still seems fast then normal speed.
