pscreenrecorder-0.7b

#1 Post by plinej »

I wasn't happy with any of the software out there for screen recording so I wrote my own gui. This will record your desktop audio and video and output to a mkv video.

0.2 - Added a countdown option and more tool-tips. The box that pops up when recording starts will now automatically minimize if xdotool is installed.

0.3 - Added the ability to enter a pre-determined amount of time to record

0.4 - Rearranged the gui a bit. Removed the countdown button in favor of just populating the countdown seconds and hitting the record button. Added entry boxes for X and Y coordinates and a select window button which will utilize xwininfo to allow you to select a window on your screen to record. This is a fixed set of coordinates so don't move your window after the recording starts. The coordinates will automatically populate as well as the window size after the "Select Window" button is clicked and your window is selected. You can still just leave X & Y blank and record your full screen like before.

0.5 - added a button for taking a screenshot and cleaned up a little bit of code. I did notice when attempting to use alsa when pulse is running a gtkdialog error happens when attempting to record ((gtkdialog4:9987): Gdk-WARNING **: 16:27:13.018: GdkWindow 0x4400003 unexpectedly destroyed). Not sure why you would want to use alsa when pulse is installed and running but just thought I'd share that tidbit of information. I'll see if I can figure out a workaround...

0.6 - Added a "Full Screen" button to record the full screen. Changed countdown clock to a large font and changed the color of the number to red. Added a warning dialog if trying to use alsa audio when pulseaudio is running. This makes the program crash for me but you can still choose to continue if it works for you...

0.7 - added more audio codecs and more options

Sorry to the 2 of you that already downloaded this but the output directory selector was broken. It is now fixed in 0.1a...

Thanks for this plinej.
Very easy to use for a non-techie video person like me.
It works out of the box on bionicpup64

In bionicpup32 the program launched but would not record. I did the following workaround to get it recording.

Bionicpup32 needed a gtkdialog4 that has libvte support compiled into it. (do any of the 32-bit puppy versions of gtkdialog4 have libvte option? I could not find one.)

As a workaround I downloaded a 32-bit gtkdialog4 .rpm package that was already compiled with libvte support. After renaming the original /usr/sbin/gtklialog4 to gtkdialog4.bak I then copied the attached gtkdialog4 file into /usr/sbin/ directory

This fix works ok for me. I kept the original gtkdialog4.bak file just in case another program needs that specific version of gtkdialog4

This fix might be ok for other 32-bit puppy versions?
Have fun!

gtkdialog4.zip
32-bit gtkdialog with libvte support borrowed from the gtkdialog-0.8.3-16.fc30.i686.rpm package, file was originally named gtkdialog. I renamed the gtkdialog file to gtkdialog4 to make it compatible with bionic32.

I will add a check for gtkdialog compiled with libvte support in the next release.
