God I'm an idiot... forwarding the message to the correct extras-list address. -jef ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Spaleta <jspaleta@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Aug 31, 2006 4:16 PM Subject: Istanbul is now once again available in the Extras development tree. To: fedora-extras-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx, Discussions on expanding the Fedora user base <fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Just an FYI for all you crazy kids who want to use istanbul for screencasting into theora videos. Istanbul 0.2.1 just got through the buildsystem for fe-devel. This is not your grand-daddy's istanbul. Unlike the version in fe5, this one uses gst-0.10 and claims to record audio and wonders of wonders the mouse cursor too! Beat the crap out of it, and just remember to drive all those juicy ui and functionality bugs into the loving hands of the upstream developers. Don't shoot the messenger..err packager. And please if someone is able to use this to make what they consider reasonable quality videos, please update the screencasting wiki page with the system settings you used. Higher resolution displays will take more cpu and memory power, so we need to find a nice usable display resolution that screencast creators can agree to standardize on. Previously the gst08 based istanbul would drop frames like mad if the encoding wasn't fast enough to handle the display resolution so you had to be careful when choosing frame-rate based on your screen resolution and your cpu/memory resources. I doubt that has been completely addressed... but we will see. -jef"does this need to be re-broadcasted to the -docs list or are screencasts too fancy for those bookwormy docs people?"spaleta -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
