 Hi,
    I administer my dad's Gentoo machine from a distance. He's going to
 take some sort of seminar over the net and asked me if there was a way
 for him to record it - both audio and video. I don't know how the
 seminar will be given, but my dad's in his 80's, isn't Gentoo
 knowledgeable and if this is going to work what ever the software is
 would have to be pretty easy to use.

    Anyone have any ideas about how to record everything on his screen
 along with any audio?

 Thanks,
 Mark

Exactly the problem I'm having.

Additionally it won't record video from MythTV which I think is
probably getting written directly to the graphics adapter.

Anyway, sound is the first problem to solve.

I've never been able to get sound to work with RecordMyDesktop even
though it appears to support it... are there any tricks?

Install xvidcap for him and see if he'll be able to use it. WIth
xvidcap, it should not matter what format the lecture he'll be
listening to is in.



[gentoo-user] simple A/V recording software to grab Internet seminar?

Hi,
   I administer my dad's Gentoo machine from a distance. He's going to
take some sort of seminar over the net and asked me if there was a way
for him to record it - both audio and video. I don't know how the
seminar will be given, but my dad's in his 80's, isn't Gentoo
knowledgeable and if this is going to work what ever the software is
would have to be pretty easy to use.

   Anyone have any ideas about how to record everything on his screen
along with any audio?

Thanks,
Mark
