Screen capture utility for making tutorials?
Is there a program built into Studio 1337 that will let me capture what I am doing on screen so I can make tutorials of how to do certain things? My memory is not so good and I find it helpful to make a video record of the things I do so that I can repeat them later on. I was hoping to use my webcam to make tutorials for using Hydrogen etc but I haven't got the webcam going yet.
If I can find a program that lets me capture my menu actions / typing and mouse movements I will be able to get underway. |
Try xvidcap.

Thanks. Just tried entering this into a console but it's obviously not available. Can't find it in the package manager either. Is there anywhere you can suggest that I can find xvidcap? Some other repository maybe? thx.

Google for the Slackware 13.37 version. Or if you wait a few days, I can upload it. (I'm on a phone.) :)

Thanks. I'm happy to wait till your version is available. I'm keen to make sure I stick to the things that are known to work at this stage. Don't want to confuse myself with extra issues. :-)

I don't know much about Studio 13.37 and the website didn't tell me a lot, but could RecordMyDesktop help?

It's a compile script.
I'll upload you something in a couple of days. :) |
Here are the instructions for using a SlackBuild:

Studio 13.37 is compatible with SlackBuild (buildpkg is included).
But first you have to download the devx, right-click it, and select "sfs-load". |
Hey, I just got back, and was able to check the proper filename of the package I use. It's this one.

I will have a go at the slackbuild process this weekend probably. Keen to trial the "record my desktop" program and skill up on the slackbuild so I can access any other 1337 packages that take my fancy. The .txt suffix on the end of the attached vid needs to be removed to view it. |

Don't forget that you can always run "fixmenus" to automatically update the menu. You will lose any customizations you've made to the menu, but you can always get back the default (with the JACK submenu) by selecting 'System -> Apply Default Menu'. |

EDIT: filename was xvidcap-1.1.7-i486-1sl.txz |
I just stumbled across another method on the puppy forum as follows:
In a console type: ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /tmp/my-video.avi (just make sure you input the correct video resolution for the particular machine). File will be called my-video and will be in the /tmp folder. It recorded no sound so that is somewhat limiting I guess. |
