| Halexander9000 | Um, a little help here please? http://pastebin.com/V04WEPBG | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Halexander9000: ill just paste this from earlier | 00:40 |
| holstein | 11:25 < holstein> Halexander9000: looks like the x11grab is the issue | 00:40 |
| holstein | 11:25 < holstein> what are you trying to accomplish? | 00:40 |
| holstein | 11:26 < holstein> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ffmpeg-x11grab-unknown-format-522296/ | 00:40 |
| holstein | 11:27 < holstein> http://soledadpenades.com/2010/04/26/unknown-input-or-output-format-x11grab-ubuntu/ | 00:40 |
| holstein | i would go at it the same way with Unknown option "--enable-libfaad". | 00:41 |
| Halexander9000 | Oh, hello holstein. It's another problem. But I don't think I need to enable that library after all. I read the --help option in the mean time. | 00:41 |
| Halexander9000 | The "make" command is now in progress. I think your second tutorial is the one I followed. | 00:42 |
| Halexander9000 | Hopefully everything should work out as planned. | 00:42 |
| Halexander9000 | Now all I have to do is wait. | 00:42 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: I'm trying to find a suitable screen recorder for my machine. So far, gtk-recordmydesktop creates a wonderfull .ogv file, but I can't seem to edit or convert it no matter what I throw at it. So ffmpeg was suggested as an alternative screen recorder. | 00:46 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: I appreciate your help, and I hope you can still offer advice if I have other problems along the way. Thank you. | 00:47 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: i would ust gtk-recordmydesktop | 00:48 |
| holstein | im still not sure what the issue is | 00:48 |
| holstein | i would hit the mailing list with that issue | 00:48 |
| Halexander9000 | What's this mailing list you speak of? | 00:49 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: the ubuntustudio one | 00:49 |
| holstein | any support mailing list though | 00:49 |
| Halexander9000 | I'm not using ubuntustudio. | 00:49 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: cool | 00:49 |
| holstein | i dont really care what you are using | 00:49 |
| holstein | what im trying to tell you is where i think you are more likely to find help | 00:49 |
| holstein | and that aint here | 00:49 |
| Halexander9000 | Hmm... alright. I'll see what I find. | 00:49 |
| holstein | and this is literally the first issue i have heard about gtk-recordmydesktop *not* working | 00:50 |
| holstein | so, i would tend to lean toward suggesting that you troubleshoot that issue | 00:50 |
| holstein | since, also, it seems that the issues you are having are with something on the backend | 00:50 |
| holstein | seems like you will have these issues regardless of what you use | 00:50 |
| holstein | i would try the 12.04 live CD.. i would try other live CD's | 00:51 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: It's not that gtk-recordmydesktop is not working, it's working wonderfully. My machine just has troubles processing the file. I tried Kdenlive and OpenShot and both don't even display the file properly in the preview window, much less render a file that doesn't have a heavy dose of video artifacts. | 00:54 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: i hear you.. but i think you'll have those issues with *any* file | 00:54 |
| holstein | and you should try and do that.. obtain some files you didnt create, and try dealing with them | 00:54 |
| holstein | try different live CD's is really my top-most and easiest suggestion | 00:55 |
| Halexander9000 | I tried converting it into something more manageable, but no matter what converters I use, the result is still riddles with those blasted scrambled tetris pieces cloging my text and edges of objects. | 00:55 |
| holstein | right | 00:55 |
| holstein | so stop converting | 00:55 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: But I've just setup my system... | 00:55 |
| holstein | just obtain other files that you did not create | 00:55 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: cool | 00:56 |
| holstein | with other live CD's, you will be seeing different graphics drivers in use | 00:56 |
| Halexander9000 | I'll see if I can edit other files. | 00:56 |
| holstein | different kernels... it literally cant hurt anything | 00:56 |
| Halexander9000 | In case you're wondering , my machine is a stock ASUS EEE PC 904HD from 2008. | 00:56 |
| holstein | yup | 00:57 |
| holstein | and i wouldnt *ever* expect my EEE to do anything with video | 00:57 |
| holstein | and i have 2gb's of ram | 00:57 |
| Halexander9000 | Why? | 00:57 |
| holstein | its not made for that | 00:57 |
| holstein | and its too light on resources | 00:57 |
| Halexander9000 | What's the big deal? | 00:57 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: ? | 00:57 |
| holstein | you tell me? | 00:57 |
| holstein | its not working properly, correct? | 00:58 |
| holstein | thats pretty much what i would expect trying to do *anything* like that on my machine | 00:58 |
| holstein | it wont play HD vids smoothing anywhere | 00:58 |
| holstein | and thats just not what its for | 00:58 |
| holstein | i think if you had a bigger machine, it would not be choking on it | 00:58 |
| Halexander9000 | But, it does record my screen quite fine. Why can't I edit a bally .ogv file? | 00:58 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: it cant becuase its underpowerered | 00:59 |
| Halexander9000 | And I only used a 640 by 480 screen resolution. It's far from hd. | 00:59 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: i would do *very* low quality mpegs | 00:59 |
| holstein | or do it on another machine | 00:59 |
| Halexander9000 | I don't have another machine at my disposal. | 00:59 |
| holstein | i just dont, nor will i ever expect to edit video locally on this machine | 00:59 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: cool | 00:59 |
| holstein | i would just upload it to youtube and deal with it there | 00:59 |
| holstein | or some other online service | 00:59 |
| Halexander9000 | And my resolution won't go down further. | 00:59 |
| holstein | OR, step the quality down | 01:00 |
| holstein | OR try live CD's | 01:00 |
| holstein | til you get something light enough to deal with it | 01:00 |
| holstein | but i woudnt expect to ever see video on the screen like that | 01:00 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: The ironic thing is it uploads to youtube just fine. | 01:00 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: correct | 01:00 |
| holstein | theres *nothing* wrong with the video | 01:00 |
| holstein | the machine just cant play it | 01:00 |
| holstein | in any form | 01:01 |
| holstein | you wont be able to watch it to edit it | 01:01 |
| holstein | you cant preview | 01:01 |
| holstein | but, its there... | 01:01 |
| Halexander9000 | But I can watch it. | 01:01 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: OK | 01:01 |
| holstein | maybe in VLC or somthing | 01:01 |
| Halexander9000 | Yes. | 01:01 |
| holstein | im talking about to edit it | 01:01 |
| Halexander9000 | That's a problem. | 01:01 |
| holstein | yup | 01:01 |
| holstein | and i woudnt expect this machine to handle that | 01:01 |
| holstein | BUT, you can try other live CD's or whatever | 01:02 |
| Halexander9000 | So, you're saying I should instead rely on Youtube's video editing capabilities? | 01:02 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: i would | 01:02 |
| holstein | i would *not* want to edit video on my EEE | 01:02 |
| holstein | ever | 01:02 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: I've been through so many distributions, I'm frankly sick of trying. I feel most comfortable with Ubuntu. I'm using the LXDE desktop manager, and I'm quite happy with it. | 01:03 |
| holstein | yup | 01:03 |
| holstein | its not the distro | 01:03 |
| holstein | that why i suggest just trying it live | 01:03 |
| holstein | so you can find out without breaking anything | 01:03 |
| holstein | its the EEE | 01:03 |
| holstein | its not made for that | 01:03 |
| holstein | ive tried | 01:03 |
| Halexander9000 | I | 01:04 |
| holstein | i dont do audio on here unless i have to | 01:04 |
| Halexander9000 | I'll consider testing the live cd of Ubuntustudio after I'm done watching season 3 of Fringe on my machine. | 01:05 |
| Halexander9000 | I routed my speaker line into the microphone input so it records the game sounds. | 01:05 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: cool.. doesnt matter what you do thought.. accepting that the machine is no capable is the best thing you can do | 01:05 |
| Halexander9000 | Manually, with a cable. | 01:05 |
| holstein | though* | 01:05 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: i used to do that | 01:06 |
| Halexander9000 | But I thought all computers can process everything, the only difference was how much it took to do so. | 01:06 |
| holstein | sure | 01:07 |
| holstein | and it will "process" it fine | 01:07 |
| holstein | you just cant see it doing it | 01:07 |
| holstein | it doesnt have the balls to show it to you while its doing it | 01:07 |
| Halexander9000 | I admit it was a naive view on things from my part, but it seemed to be that way when I used Windows. | 01:07 |
| holstein | and it never will | 01:07 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: fire up windows then | 01:07 |
| holstein | i think you'll see its just not what the machine is made for | 01:07 |
| holstein | you can try avidmuex | 01:07 |
| holstein | http://avidemux.berlios.de/ | 01:08 |
| Halexander9000 | It get's clogged with more trash that my room. I don't want to use a computer if it's not running at maximum efficiency. | 01:08 |
| holstein | i found it really light back when i used windows on machine higher and lower powered than what we are talkinb about, before i started running linux on a machine like what we are talking about | 01:08 |
| holstein | anywasy.. gotta run. | 01:08 |
| Halexander9000 | bye | 01:09 |
| tehowe | Does a Ubuntu-Studio Beta drop tonight? I'd like to help test precise on my netbook but it's just a small dualcore so maybe I should help with mainline Ubuntu release instead | 03:46 |
| tehowe | ...Just since it's not ideal for audio performance. But maybe that doesn't matter. | 03:50 |
| holstein | tehowe: i would just search for the dailies... you can get more involved if you'd like though... try in #ubuntustudio-devel first | 03:53 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures | 03:55 |
| tehowe | Thanks, holstein. Maybe it's purely psychological but I was waiting for us to pass that 'beta' milestone b4 putting Precise on my sidearm, since I do use it for 'production', if you count browsing online and using Libre office | 04:01 |
| holstein | tehowe: they have to be officially tested to be accepted | 04:02 |
| holstein | ive been busy :/ | 04:02 |
| tehowe | oic. no worries. | 04:03 |
| holstein | otherwise, theres a schedule, and the images build automatically AFAIK | 04:04 |
| holstein | things break... we (meaning mostly ScottL) fix them | 04:04 |
| tehowe | Well kudos, there's a lot of extra moving parts in a Studio release... looking fwd to it | 04:13 |
