Comment on Best software available today for Linux video Desktop capturing on Debian by smarken.dk.
hi
the article I’ve seen does not say it HAS to be X11VNC but just “A” vnc and then sort of “proposing” X11VNC as it gives good results.
I’ve tried vnc2flv in a few scenarios, recording my own linux desktop and recording another pc running Linux .. both with good results 🙂
The 2.nd was actually an installation session of SuSE 12.1 (boot option VNC=1). Only annoying part was that it had a fixed screen of 600×800 😉 I didn’t find a way to alter this by giving a boot option 🙁
My 3.rd test was a recording from a windows box with a out-of-the-box TightVNC installed ..
It was not a good test at all, since it seems at lest the windows version has this issues that it doesn’t update the whole screen, -only the things that changes. That gives black areas in the flv produses 🙁
I havent dug into trying to fix that (yet) since it doesn’t have that high prio to me to record that way in windows (or when I do, I have better tools .. like fraps wich is more native to windos )
Most recording I do in windows is recording world of warcraft gaming, so I had to try that on Linux/wine with vnc2flv too ..
To say the least it was crappy .. a LOT of frames was missing and it was almost worse than what I’d tried with recordmydesktop …
-but ofc trying to record a 3D windows program running i wine is not a little task .. especially not in 1920×1080 😉
last ..
Thanks for your post wich pointed me to vnc2flv 🙂
