two things here: 1.) The ubuntu package apparently does not put the ppm2mpeg.sh script to a location where it will be found automatically. Your workaround seems good. 2.) I very much suspect a usage problem here. xvidcap has a concept of "multi-frame capture" which records to a video directly. Using that, you don't need ppm2mpeg.sh AT ALL. Just do this (as an example on the command line of options you can also select through the preferences): # xvidcap --mf --file /tmp/test.avi --auto ... record smth. # totem /tmp/test.avi
You only need ppm2mpeg.sh if you use "single-frame capture". That captures to individual screenshot image files. Those you can encode to a video. The script provided with xvidcap does not work with XWD files. The following should work: # xvidcap --sf --file /tmp/test-%d.png --auto .... record smth. .... select "encode" from the xvidcap menu # totem /tmp/output.avi Please read the xvidcap online help for more information and let us know how you fare. -- ppm2mpeg.sh: command not found and other encoding problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
