Lightweight, Real Time Desktop Movie
Hello all,
I need to be able to store basically an OpenGL window into a standard video format ( say...avi or mpeg) and then overlay other controls on top of the display (which may or may not be OpenGL). This will all be at 60fps (hopefully). If that's not feasible, I can have both the OpenGL window and the controls on screen. Would that make it easier to record everything? The intent is to capture these rendered graphics with some instrumentation and slap it on a DVD for home use. Thanks in advance. Any advice would be great. --Fritzoid |

Welcome to LQ!
But you don't seem to have read or searched this site before you posted: Quote:
You really haven't given us any information: You refer to Quote:
This is linux, not windows, so everybody's "Desktop" is not going to be the same and may well be very different from yours, but it's possible that we share some similarities and some common ground. So, to see if we can share some "common ground": - What linux distro are you running ? - What GUI are you running (KDE gnome xfce ... ) - What exact applications do you wish to "record" ? I'll toss this link in for good measure (Don't take offence, as none intended, but read it anyway ;) ) [Edit] Grrrrr. You have completely re-edited your post, so probably none of this makes sense.

Apparently rereading after posting made the OP realize his post was a bit difficult to read??

Wow...sorry folks, specifically tredegar and EricTRA; I realize now that there was a bunch of information that I left out there. I also didn't realize people have such a short response time. Thanks for the replies though, I'll remember not to re-edit and post in much greater detail.
So...this is a work-related matter, and some of the specs are up in the air. They won't be any worse than what's listed below, but the ill-defined ones are question-marked:

So first off, is a "framebuffer grabber" (capturing the X screen buffer for example) the way to go? The user will want to see the video since this will be used in a classroom, so everything I need will be on screen. Framebuffer grabbers mentioned before from this link (thanks EricTRA): Quote:
Wink -- Looks like its geared more towards screen shots / pdfs. xvidcap -- Again, I'll give it a go. I'm really looking for something that is as efficient as possible. From personal experience, it seems like FFMPEG is out due to resource consumption. Thanks for your help. |
