xvidcap
xvidcap is a tool
that captures movement on an X11 display for illustration or
documentation purposes.
It works in two distinct modes: In single-frame capture mode
xvidcap takes a configurable number of screenshots per second and saves
them
to individual files. In multi-frame capture mode xvidcap also
takes a number of screenshots per second, but encodes them to a single
video in real time. Audio capture is only available with multi-frame
formats.
This software is intended to be a standards-based alternative
to tools like Lotus ScreenCam and Camtasia.
On-line encoding is done through FFMPEG and also allows for
audio grabbing on OSS compatible systems.
Features include:
- Save videos in MPEG or AVI format
- Support for direct VOB creation, Flash Screen Video
- Capture single frames, or encode captured frames to a video
- Capture the mouse pointer
- Record audio and video
- Capture OpenGL accelerated graphics
- Capture a running video (hardware acceleration on the
graphics adapter needs to be disabled)
- On-line encoding with FFmpeg libavcodec / libavformat
- On-the-fly frame size reduction
- Choose the number of frames to be captured per second
- Specify the geometry
- Dbus remote control application
