I have installed gvidcap on Fedora using
rpm -ivh gvidcap-1.1.3-fc1.i386.rpm

This had resulted into some dependencies so I got them installed before installing this package.

After doing this gvidcap got smoothely installed.
But now when I try to run the application, it is crashing with a segmentation fault.

Plz help.

But now when I try to run the application, it is crashing with a segmentation fault.
If the package and all the dependencies installed without errors then open up a terminal window and type the command to start the application. If it doesn't start but shows you errors then you have something to search LQ, the Gvidcap FAQ (http://www.jarre-de-the.net/faq/inde...on=show&cat=4), mailinglist and bugtracker for. If it doesn't start but also doesn't show you errors then you need to run it like "strace -v -o/tmp/gvidcap.strace command". Now you have the file /tmp/gvidcap.strace to read (last few lines) and check LQ, the Gvidcap FAQ (http://www.jarre-de-the.net/faq/inde...on=show&cat=4), mailinglist and bugtracker for. If that doesn't yield any results you could post your question to the development list or maintainer or post the first three and last ten lines here.

When I type the command xvidcap on the prompt, it starts well.

When I give verbose option it prints the following data.
But when I click on the capture video button, it crashes with segmentation fault.(This is also visible down.) A file of 0 bytes also gets created on the root called testmovie-0.mpeg

Looks like that is in the FAQ I pointed you to. See if this (After installation from RPM gvidcap crashes on recording) helps solve your problem: http://www.jarre-de-the.net/faq/inde...=18&artlang=en
