How To Use FFMPEG To Screencast from any Puppy Distro Subject description: Tested on 5.25/5.28 & 5.31 Slacko |
|
Hi All
If you want to make videos in Puppy Linux to upload to youtube etc, then just open your terminal and bash the following code in.
#!/bin/sh
var="$(xrandr | grep '*')"
IFS=" "
set -- $var
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -s $1 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /root/test.avi
FFMPEG will now record your desktop and your Mic + Sound input as well, just use CTRL+C to end the recording.
This will give you a big file of nice quality, I would suggest you use FFConvert to shrink it down to a few megs so you can upload it quicker to youtube.
This means you dont need to install apps like xvdcap or recordmydesktop as you can do it straight from FFMPEG.

Cool! I downloaded "Recordmydesktop" after watching one of your videos "Puppy Linux 5.28 Part 1 & Pt2" (Yesterday.) I will try this, thanks...

I tried it, very nice. But I can not view the videos from Puppy, but I can from a different puppy build and my main OS. It does the same for "record my desktop" I am using 5.2.8 004

Thank you

I'm excited !
the ffmpeg line runs good on puppy 511 which had ffmpeg 0.5.2 installed without x11grab support .
i have compiled 7.11 and 9.1 with x11grab and can see the screen capture in mplayer . gxine-059 does not want to play .avi videos , but thats it .
will have to check it on Puppy 4 series where i could not get it to work until now .
***
this is the console output of v.7.11 which apparently compiled with a larger amount of warnings than 9.1 :

That works for me with ffmpeg-0.9.1 also. It produces good video quality due to libx264. Of course you need that lib to be installed...and that your ffmpeg has been compiled supporting it.

The commandline has to work , otherwise i get crazy error messages like
#Unable to find a suitable output format for '-f'
Screen resolution not being larger than actual is important as pemasu states .
The configure script autodetects headers in /usr/include .
If no alsa headers , no alsa !
I had the same with BSD kernel headers installed .
/usr/include/dev from it gave
Quote: | /usr/include/dev/bktr/ioctl_meteor.h:185: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'caddr_t' |
which i could not solve .
renaming /usr/include/dev to /usr/include/dev.ffmpeg.backup
AND running ./configure $MYPARAMETERS again
did not find /usr/include/dev/ and now ffmpeg finally compiled .
The sound headers should be in /usr/include/alsa .
alsactl -v
alsactl version 1.0.20
would roughly correct show which alsa lib version is installed .
By getting /usr/include/dev out of the way i got ffmpeg to compile on 4.3 and x11grab working .
Also gxine-059 shows the avi format .
*****
./configure should show these parameters at the very end :
Code: | Enabled indevs:
alsa fbdev v4l2
bktr v4l x11_grab_device
dv1394
Enabled outdevs:
alsa sdl |
I can't find a ./configure parameter to force alsa ie --enable-indev=alsa .

funny thing is ffmpeg recognizes the output format because of the outputfile.extension .
Code: | ./ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1023x767 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /root/test3.flv |
works for me to create a flash file .
gxine renders it 45degrees deformed .
FlashVideo File is approx. 50% larger in size than AudioVideoInterleave File .
