Hi there,
I just read back in the archives prior to when I rejoined the list a short time
ago, and saw someone asking about recording flightgear movies in Linux...
Did you have any luck? On my laptop (Core 2 Duo T7250 2GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce
8600M GT 512MB) I can record 800x600 resolution movies that look good and don't
have lost frames. Install the latest ffmpeg and the following command will
record your desktop...
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 800x600 -i :0.0 -r 25 -b 7500k -an clip.avi
That will record an 800x600 resolution 25fps AVI file of the desktop (note it
doesn't scale down a higher resolution desktop, it just grabs the top-left
800x600 pixels). If you set your desktop to 800x600 then start fg in
fullscreen, start ffmpeg recording, then switch back to fg and fly, you
*should* be able to record the flight perfectly on a dual-core PC. Note the
"-an" switch disables audio recording. You can record sound from your system by
removing that switch and adding "-f oss -i /dev/dsp -ab 64k" to the command
line, but doing that for me causes video to start skipping. That may not be the
case for you if your PC is powerful enough.
