RecordMyDesktop - HD screen recording - Tips Tricks - Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 - Compiz

[chome41]

Does anyone know if there is a way to download this for non-Ubuntu users? I use Linux Pardus which is KDE.

[runepk4life500]

@chome41 I'd honestly switch to a more mainstream version of Linux/Ubuntu. I know what it's liked to be using an operating system that only 10 people know exists, and it's really much easier to just switch to the more mainstream. If it's not possible, try searching the RMD forums.

[chome41]

@runepk4life500 Thanks for that.

[sinangunz1990]

Pls tell me how you record the sound with my computer i get the anoying mouse-click and space noise whenever i record plus if i talk while recording my voice sounds like i used a phaser pls help!

[definitionofis]

@sinangunz1990 Check your SystemTools-SystemSettings and click on Sound and try turning the volume down (or up).

Nice video... I have problems with recordmydesktop, but I think it's because of my computer. I'm running a 4yr old laptop with an amd turion processor. Only 2 out of 5 recordings ever encodes fully. The rest have audio or video problems. I've heard you can do screen recordings in vlc, so i might just play with that.

whats they website yo



[unamestorm]

does it require a download? Please Answer. Thanks ;)

[PCAddictsLive]

@unamestorm Just download/install recordmydesktop (sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop)

[jordanlang2]

what should i set my frame rate?

[sccerstr09]

How do you zoom in and out?

[PCAddictsLive]

@sccerstr09 it's a feature of compiz - hold the super key, and scroll the wheel on the mouse.

[99sisco99]

Great, it gives a start-up point to newbees like me ;)

I just wonder, HOW do YOU do this zooming??

Are there predefined keys or do you do that with mouse-wheel??

[PCAddictsLive]

@99sisco99 Cool, glad it helped. For the zooming, it's a default feature of Compiz Fusion. I forget the name of it, but to use it... you have to be running Compiz. Then hold Super and scroll your mouse wheel (super being the windows key).

[BillyEwing]

Hey PCAddictsLive,

I'm trying to screencap some tutorials for linux, and I'm having a few issues with recordMyDesktop, and google brought me here.

When I upload the .ogv file directly to youtube and it's finished processing, I simply see boxes randomly on the video, but no actual video. As if it were just pixels being put places, instead of recording my desktop. I've played the video locally and it works perfectly.

Do you happen to have any ideas?

[PCAddictsLive]

@BillyEwing Ya, something happened with 10.04 that caused it to not work anymore. I ended up having to convert it from .ogv to something else, then upload it. It's been a while since I have messed with it. I might have done a video on it, but can't rememeber

[BillyEwing]

@PCAddictsLive I figured out how to do it, I'll be uploading a video on it myself, with basic ffmpeg settings :) Thank you

[PCAddictsLive]

@BillyEwing Sweet, let me know when its uploaded so I can check it out.

[Windowsvista7Helper]

hey i have record my desktop it works but i can get it to only record my right screen and not both of them

[PCAddictsLive]

@Windowsvista7Helper Strange, cause by default it records both my screens unless I specify only one screen.

[tylerchambers0]

cool- now how do I get it to not SUCK?

[PCAddictsLive]

@tylerchambers0 haha, what?

[J0RDSKI]

Nice video dude, however mine doesn't record the sound from the desktop :( Im not using a microphone or anything just say I wanted to record and then open a youtube video or something it doesn't record the sound. Also I don't know what to type into that box where you have hw:1,0

[wolvie21st]

@J0RDSKI i used Pulse Mixer and set the recording device to use the internal sounds. and you can then switch back to mic (if you get one) and desktop sounds whenever you want

Then at the gtk-recordmydesktop window, i typed "pulse" where he put "hw:1,0"

[J0RDSKI]

@wolvie21st Ty dude I will give that a try.

[xianate]

can you help me the silver square dose not appear on my tool-bar

i had moved the default top tool bar to the bottom and deleted the bottom tool-bar  =]

[wolvie21st]

how come I didn't get the quality you get in this video? I got video and sound quality maxed out and the best i could get was 720p :(

[J0RDSKI]

@wolvie21st Your screen resolution is not 1920 x 1080, it must be 1280 x 720.

[DJTimesTable]

hey thanks that was a lot of help. i have had this program but couldn't figure it out that well but now i get it and it works great so thanks again.

[TheGimpHelper]

i have Ubuntu and i cant record audio using recordmydesktop can you help me PCAddictsLive please???

[wolvie21st]

@TheGimpHelper which audio do you wanna record? your voice or the internal sounds?

if its voice i cant help you. If it's internal sound i did it by putting "pulse" in "Device" under the Sound tab

hope i helped :)

[eViLrAc3r]

will try that the next time i'm in ubuntu :) thank you

[eViLrAc3r]

also, can u confirm that it doesnt switch the cursor completely until restarting X server and this only happens when Compiz is enabled??

Thank you

[eViLrAc3r]

[mascobz]

How you were zooming?

[PCAddictsLive]

If you are using Compiz, hold Ctrl then scroll your mouse wheel.

[UltimatePisman]

I do that with Super + Scroll.
