Does anyone know of a desktop recorder that is working with 12.2 KDE ?
I tried gtk-recordmydesktop which what i’ve used before in the past, but it isn’t recording correctly with my opensuse install.
Anyone know of a fix or an alternative screen recorder ?
Need one that records the desktop and sound.
Have you tried using recordmydesktop from KDenlive? I used to use ‘XVidCap’ sometime ago, but it has not worked for me since 11.2 or 11.3(?), but I haven’t tried it on 12.2. It is available from the packman repo.
Istanbul is another one, available from the -oss repo. It is a Gnome app, but it might work just as fine on KDE.
Hi
There is kazam and freeseer

Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890)
openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) Kernel 3.4.6-2.10-desktop
up 1:40, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.11, 0.13
CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU
xvidcap records well, but i can’t get it to record the sound, not sure what setting i need to use,
by default its set to /dev/dsp
Kazam doesn’t load
freeseer records screen but at very low FPS and doesnt seem to be any settings to change FPS, also wont record sound.
/dev/dsp is OSS.
You can try starting XVidCap from command line like this: aoss xvidcap
If I need to run OSS based apps, however, I load the oss modules like this (as root): modprobe snd-pcm-oss. Alsa-oss is, in my experience, a bit slow to respond and so you might get synch problems.
If you use PulseAudio: padsp xvidcap
The KDE Release:/49 repos contain recorditnow. Installed it, it’s running now, recording this writing. Let’s see what it does. BTW it’s based on recordmydesktop as well.
Still doesn’t seem to record audio.
Doesn’t seem to work either, the video that is outputted doesn’t play in any video players.
I installed it from the KDE:distro factory repo, that way i would haven’t have to upgrade kde to 4.9
VokoScreen is working here without any problem
vokoscreen
I managed to get recordmydesktop to work: recordmydesktop -device hw:3,0 --v_bitrate 2000000
The fps problem was solved with the latter parameter: --v_bitrate 2000000
Found this tip here: Solving recordmydesktop’s slow-framerate problem - Between Linux and Anime
recordmydesktop works fine now it seems!
And, since recorditnow is based on recordmydesktop and has a bitrate setting, which I raised to 2000000 (is the max of the slider in the settings of the recorditnowplugin), recorditnow works wonderful.
Edit: and a big hands for F_Sauce
Thank you:)
I’ll have to try this also (on 12.2) when I get the chance.
I typically use ffmpeg (with a variation of arguments) to record my desktop with audio. The difficult with that is that ffmpeg keeps changing, and what worked yesterday may not work today with the latest ffmpeg update, and one often needs to search a bit to learn the new ffmpeg parameters. Some older threads on this:
My paid job is currently very busy (with long hours) and hence I have not had much time for GNU/Linux as of late. Hopefully that will change in the next half year and I get some free time back to investigate such things.
Still can’t get recordmydesktop or recorditnow to record sound, the recordmydesktop plugin in recorditnow, gives me the correct sound options to choose my sound card but still no sound.
Kazam works great on Debian, records well and records sound, if only it would load on openSUSE for me.
Good news !
Got Kazam working, i installed it, then ran it from terminal to see if it would output an error or message.
It gave me an message about Kazam using an old python/pygtk version, so opened up yast2 did a search pygtk and found two packages which seemed relevent (python-gobject-pygtkcompat, python3-gobject-pygtkcompat)
ran kazam again and now it loads 
and not only does it load but it also records my screen smoothly and sound !
I set the FPS to 20, Kazam seems to encode on-the-fly and 30 fps causes glitches now and again.
Also there’s 2 codecs it offers to containers it offers to encode in, i used mp4 cos VLC wasn’t playing the webm file :\
** Thanks for all the replies and help :good:
Yeah, Kazaam is pretty neat – Malcolm Lewis was kind enough to have provided a build in OBS that I had tried out when running 12.1 and I thought it was pretty slick (IIRC I did still experience a few errors, but for the most part it worked very well).
Nice to see that there is apparently another viable option too with “recorditnow”. Will have to try it out sometime
Well done:)
RecordItNow is one of my packages…
I think you must didn’t read the readme I provided…
it has 3 backends. the other two which work perfectly are based on mplayer and ffmpeg.
so … install the packman version.
by the way it’s the first time I hear recordmydesktop backend works…
and Kazam is also one of my packages…seems I have to adjust it a little bit…
