Screen Recorders, I need help.

[xSadoro]

Hi, so I have tried: Kazam, vokoscreen, recordmydesktop , in neither of those i can get to: record on full screen, record with sound (except with kazam, wich recorded sound, but terribly it was like ,slowed down or something. And I don't know what libx264 really is (beside a librarie ->idk if that's right)
but on OpenShot this lib has been requested to export video file type , and also, on Vokoscreen there is the option to record using mpeg4 or either libx264 codec. Now , it won't let me use libx264 to record, only mpeg4 (and when doing so , not in full screen or with sound )

I know there is people here spending their time to help others, so I really apreciate your time spent on me ^^ My experience with kubuntu has been great so far, but now I want to record some Amnesia gameplay ^^

My System: Kubuntu 12.10 ( Linux 3.5.0-25-generic ) -> 64 bits

CPU: AMD A4 3400 APU with Raedon HD graphics -> AMD Raedon HD 6570

KDE version: 4.9.5

I would post the terminal log entry for vokoscreen but it says I can not post link because I have less than 5 posts.

well libx264 is the lib for HD play back/recording .....to use it you nead the libx264-123 from the universe repo and or libavcodec-extra-53 from medibuntu repo.

as for screen capture I like ffmpeg (comand line) and something like this

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -vcodec ffv1 filename.avi

but some say that dose not work for them YMMV

OH MY LORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As English Pewdiepie's accent would say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to medibuntu, did not find libx264, did find libavcodec-extra-53, downloaded it , but could not install it, some red message saying error: blah blah blah (it was in spanish, and I don't feel like translating everything ^^) So i went to synaptic, first looked up for libx264 , turns out it was installed ! But under this lib , I see libavcodec extra 53 ! was not installed, so I did install it , and voa la ,or whatever now i can record udner the libx264 codecs OMG IM SO HAPPY I CAN RECORD AUDIO !!!!!!!!!!! But not full screen.......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help , IM SO HAPPY THOUGH I WANNA HUG EVERYONE

I am currently using Vokoscreen. I can upload a video of a full screen record. But pretty much is this : A little black screen window is shown on the top left corner ^^ (audio works now) , so the only issue left is the full screen.

Try VLC, or Rosa Media Player. Both do great screen captures.

I am not familiar with this vocoscreen what is it , where did you get it ?

you can or cant do a full screen screen capture ,,,,is it only a little window after you upload it to where ever your uploading it to ?

What I meant is this : I can show you what a record of a full screen looks like , (it does not full screen !) So, no it is not AFTER uploading a video , it is just the recorded avi file -> Default in Vokoscreen. And I don't think its the software problem, I have tried other apps and the same goes by ! No full screen recording I will upload a video to youtube to show you.

This is how you get Voko :

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:vokoscreen-dev/vokoscreen
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vokoscreen

Btw , you have to record a full screen OpenGL program ,like a game !

There's KDE front end for recordmydesktop called RecorditNow, it's in the repo's.
I have no experience with either.
