Description Luca Bruno 2007-04-29 19:50:12 UTC
This a report forwarded from Debian BTS. Original report can be found here: http://bugs.debian.org/415890

Reporter says:
**********
Using the option "Select Area to Record" is used, the resulting movie
constantly shows a green horizontal line at the bottom of the movie.
This line is visible with Kaffeine, KMPlayer and VLC. A screen movie
taken by a friend with area selection shows the same green line.

Therefore I conclude that the problem is within Istanbul and not in 
the player software.
**********

I can confirm the same behaviour here. The orizzontal line is really thin, placed at the bottom of the screencasted area. Feel free to Cc: 415890@bugs.debian.org when replying.

This is probably due to the width and height not being a multiple of 8. Non gstreamer players usually don't handle them well. However I do have plans to handle these odd sizes selected by adding a black border.

istanbul is not under active development anymore and has not seen code
changes for eight years. Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/istanbul/commits/master

See https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/screen-shot-record.html for screencast video options that are available in GNOME 3.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
