This worked just perfectly. I wasted more than 2 hours on this problem, trying atleast 10 different ways.

Thank you so much BigWhale! I wish I could thank you more.

Thanks for this, was scratching my head at my abysmal network speeds.

FWIW: autorun.sh ran successfully on vanilla ubuntu 10.4 using version r8168-8.027.00.

Cheers!

This is not targeted to granny or to existing users. This is targeted to new users (kids). They shall learn: this are the programs you SHALL use, this are the music that you SHALL listen, this are the movies that you SHALL see..

They want to transform the PC and internet into something like TV. Provider->user system.
Thinking is forbidden.

Luis, thanks for the info. About the first bug, while your video editor is running, open a terminal and check the contents of /tmp there should be a file named kazam_*.movie try playing it with mplayer or ffplay. Also, try recording in H264 and VP8, are results the same?

When recording with higher framerate ximagesrc, which is a plugin for gstreamer, becomes quite unresponsive, this is probably something that can’t be fixed without rewriting ximagesrc. And even then you are limited by the encoders, right now H264 is a bit faster than VP8.

What happens if you try recording a smaller region?

I could not add a bug to the PPA bug list. The bugs are:

1. After finishing recording with the latest PPA it tells me if I want to open it with a program or do it later. I can choose between Pitivi and Openshot so I go with Openshot but after openshot opens the video, the video only has a screenshot of the first screen of the video. Lasts for 0 seconds. It does not have the rest of the video only the first image of it. I then tried with Pitivi and it has the same problem. The video does not actually get send correctly to the video editors.

2. When recording at 29 or 30 FPS or any other higher FPS with an Nvidia 440GTX 1GB video card but I am guessing any card, the recording is sluggish. Instead of showing smooth 29/30 FPS it shows somethings like 3fps because of the jumps between frames. It does not matter if I record it with mkv or webm format.

In all cases I recorded with sound.

Thank you for this wonderful software. It’s the only modern screencast software available for Ubuntu with Unity (and I already gave up to hope)…

Looks like the Realtek driver contains binary blobs in files:

- rtltool.c
- r8186_n.c

I don’t know if it would work without them (blobs), though.

Hi. thanks for the post. I had some trouble to get the Realtek working. The hint to remove the lines from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules did the trick for me.

I use Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks again! Rick

Hi Nathan, glad you bring kazam back to life. I’m the guy from OMG :) anyway i don’t know if you already know this but, I’m using it a lot by now.

Maybe you can figure out something and improve kazam even more.
