[00:35] <Halexander9000> Um, a little help here please? http://pastebin.com/V04WEPBG
[00:40] <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/
[00:41] <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.
[00:42] <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.
[00:46] <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.
[00:47] <Halexander9000> holstein: I appreciate your help, and I hope you can still offer advice if I have other problems along the way. Thank you.
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <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.
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <holstein> i would try the 12.04 live CD.. i would try other live CD's
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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.
[00:57] <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?
[00:58] <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?
[00:59] <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.
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <Halexander9000> I
[01:04] <holstein> i dont do audio on here unless i have to
[01:05] <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*
[01:06] <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.
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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.
[01:09] <Halexander9000> bye
[03:46] <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
[03:50] <tehowe> ...Just since it's not ideal for audio performance. But maybe that doesn't matter.
[03:53] <holstein> tehowe: i would just search for the dailies... you can get more involved if you'd like though... try in #ubuntustudio-devel first
[03:55] <holstein> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures
[04:01] <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
[04:02] <holstein> tehowe: they have to be officially tested to be accepted
[04:02] <holstein> ive been busy :/
[04:03] <tehowe> oic. no worries.
[04:04] <holstein> otherwise, theres a schedule, and the images build automatically AFAIK
[04:04] <holstein> things break... we (meaning mostly ScottL) fix them
[04:13] <tehowe> Well kudos, there's a lot of extra moving parts in a Studio release... looking fwd to it
