Is there a way to set up a short delay?

Hi All

This is my final entry after trying many variations out.

#!/bin/sh
var="$(xrandr | grep '*')"
IFS=" "
set -- $var
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -s $1 -r 30 -i :0.0 -sameq /root/test.avi

I have found 30 frames to be the optimal and it produces the best visual quality, I have tested this on Puppies 5.25/5.28 & 5.31 Slacko, I have now moved to Slacko as my main operating system as I just love it to bits.

I hope all of you trying to get this to work with older Puppies are successful please contact me if I can help you in any way.

MORE frames = MORE MB

I had forgotten that it ran for 40 minutes and the avi file became 1,15GB ( -s 1280x1024 -r 25 )

No luck with mp4 format either , still very very large .
Would be nice to get more extensions to work andor to decrease the filesize .

Could not get 9.1 compile on one Puppy431 installation but 7.11 and 8.10 compiled .

yasm >=0.8 needed to enable yasm and the source compiled fine but it seems not to have any effect .

Despite --enable-x11grab some other configure options disable it
and the binary does not include x11grab though ffmpeg -help says so .
The first time i compiled source i had to look into the /tmp/* folders for hints .
After installing several header and library packages it worked .

Thanks Karl Godt for the code. I modified it a bit and turned it into a pet.

Great ! puprecord is a good tool with my speach !
I have spent all the day long to try to improve xvidcap for Slacko 5.3.1.
Puprecord is here.
Why dont you tell it before !
Very good alternative to xvidcap, better than drec and record my desktop.
Thanks Lobster.
