This is fantastic, I'm so happy to have found a good screen recorder like this for Linux.

One question; What is that 'sz' for preceding your variable? When you're echoing...?

[metalx1000]

@John8pie: Ha, That's a typo I never noticed before. Since it's just a echo output it doesn't hurt the script, and you don't even really see it since right after it ffmpeg spits out a bunch of info. Thanks for pointing it out though.

@metalx1000 Ah, figured.

I've got a bit of a problem; Linux can't read the sound from my microphone, whatsoever. Even Sound Recorder won't get anything. Although, it works fine on Windows.

@John8pie: I don't know how much help I'll be. Hardware issues are very hard to trouble shoot when you are not psychically there. But, we can start by finding out what sound card you have and then Googling it. You can looking your sound preferences or run 'lspci' and look for you sound card.

@metalx1000

"00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)"

Is this what I should be looking for, considering it's the microphone that can't be read? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. . . .

@John8pie: when you click on the sound icon by your clock, and go to "sound preferences" go to the "Input" tab.

Everything should be there, make sure you have the right connector chosen and see if you see and Input Level when talking into the Mic.

@John8pie Go in to systems settings sound and then fix your mic

Ok solved, first i need to specify that i'm using pulseaudio with jack and it seems that doing "-i hw:0" was crappy for my setup, i changed that to "-i pulse" wich goes to jack source and everything is fine now, sound is good.

I tried this but the volume is too loud and i'm getting a lot of background noise especially when i talk into the microphone. Any ideas why?

[John8pie]

@metalx1000 I agree. I know it worked in Ubuntu 10.04, so I'm downgrading to that at the moment. Once Wubi is done fiddling with my computer I'll run that command and post back here.

By the way, I'm very excited about the upcoming MySQL videos! :D
