The big issue right now is dropped frames because the cpu can't keep up with the requested image grabbing rate in some situations. I'm hoping to come up with a standard prescription with regard to desktop resolution, framerate, encoded image size for all videos being produced. This will imply a minimum cpu requirement to ensure no frame-drops using what we have available for gstreamer-plugins right now in rawhide. I need to come up with a simple test for frame-dropping that aspiring video-makers can run quickly to see if their hardware is keeping up for the "standard" video configuration. The ximagesrc gst element should improve over time so some of the issues here with regard to frame dropping should evaporate as part of rawhide churn towards fc5. I think long term you'll want to standardize on a low resolution desktop anyways so that you can encode to a reasonably sized image without loss of detail. 640x480 might be too small.. but 800x600 might be a reasonable desktop resolution to use when making task videos. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
