GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 332474
INPUT: gstreamer-desktop input plug-in
Last modified: 2006-02-27 19:37:57 UTC
How about a video input capture source for the desktop? I would like to record my desktop, but can't get programs like xvidrec to work. Besides, programs like Ekiga or Gnome Meeting or Pitivi should have a way to record the desktop; what if I want to demonstrate software over video conference, or want to record desktop tutorial vids? There are many useful applications for desktop recording.
Sounds like you want ximagesrc, which has recently been ported to GStreamer 0.10 (in gst-plugins-bad CVS now). Check out istanbul and byzanz for desktop recording solutions (the former is based on GStreamer, but I don't know if it's been ported to 0.10 yet).
Close the bug..
