Mikael Kurula commented on OPENMEETINGS-494:
--------------------------------------------

Thanks for responding! Thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue; the 
recording is the critical issue for me whether I should take OM into 
professional use or not.

Now I'm very confused. I've asked about this issue on the users list, and I got 
the impression that recording on highest quality should yield output at 30 fps?

A frame rate of 2 fps is way too low for my application of OM. Why should the 
OM admin or a teacher not be allowed to use a high frame rate? Bandwidth is not 
a problem for us, but having decent quality recordings is a priority. (I teach 
university-level mathematics over the internet and the students who can't 
attend the sessions in realtime study the recordings. I imagine studying a 
static video with me babbling is boring enough even if the quality is decent.) 
In my recordings, I will also always show a window with a video of me talking 
and pointing at stuff on a VGA beamer canvas, so the video will be there in the 
recording.

I think no frames are missing when I record at High quality, then the frame 
rate is at 2 fps and all frames are probably there because the video and the 
audio stay in sync. I talked about missing frames regarding Very high quality, 
because I thought the frames in the output video were displaying at the correct 
speed, but with many frames missing. Do I now understand correctly that the 
intended frame rate for Very high quality is also 2 fps and that the bug is 
that the output video displays the frames faster than at 2 fps?

>    Affects Versions: 2.1 Apache Incubator Release
>         Environment: CentOS 6 and Ubuntu 12.04 servers, Macbook pro and 
> Windows 7 clients. Flash 11.5.502.13x, Java 1.6.something on both server and 
> client

>            Priority: Critical

> When I record with any quality except for "very high quality", I get a frame 
> rate of only about 2 fps. When I use the "very high quality", my video plays 
> back at a higher frame rate, but it seems a lot of frames are missing, so in 
> practice the video plays back approximately 5-10 times too fast.
> I am using recommended versions of both swftools and ffmpeg, but I don't 
> think it's an ffmpeg issue, since already the raw .flv stream fed to ffmpeg 
> has broken frame rate.
> This effectively prevents me from using openmeetings in my work.
