I have not tried your patch yet but I can tell you that I found xvidcap totally unusable for capturing FlightGear. It only captured the first frame and then the only thing that "moved" in the video was the blinking cursor. I think xvidcap is more for making training videos and is not well suited for capturing things like games and simulations. I will try your patch but it may take a few days. Can I use the patch with 0.9.11-rc1? One of the things that I think is useful about the way I am doing this with yukon is that I can focus on flying during the FDM capture session without having to think about things like camera angels and zoom. Then when playing back the session during capture I can forget about the actual flying and focus on things related to the composition (camera angle, zoom...). In other words it cleanly separates the pilot and camera man functions. Of course this should be possible with your patch as well. Question - when your patch is doing the capture does it also capture the cursor and menu? Siegfried has placed one of my yukon captured videos on the home page of the FlightGear Fan Portal http://flightgearfan.6x.to/ if anyone is interested in seeing the results. This video is mostly a proof of concept and it not at all polished. There is no sound since the version of yukon I was using does not capture sound (it will be in the next release). This video is about 6:47 minutes and consists of an aerobatics flight over KSFO that starts with taxing for take off and ends with a landing on 28R. The aircraft is a PC-7. It was captured at 320x240 and is hosted on youtube. I have not been able to playback the youtube video on my machine because I am running gnash on my system and right now gnash works with most but not all of the videos on youtube. Since it is still alpha level code gnash also does not currently work with the mpcam either. But I like the idea behind mpcam since it would allow for a pilot to take someone in another location for a "ride" in their airplane.
