Description Chong Kai Xiong 2006-08-04 19:35:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
See summary.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Istanbul
2. Choose 'Select Area to Record' then select an area smaller than 15x15 pixels.
3. Start recording

Simplest way to perform (2) is to click and then release without moving the mouse.

Actual results:
Istanbul hangs with a link error:
(626, 793) - (634, 799)
DEBUG: final pipeline: istximagesrc name=videosource display-name=:0.0 screen-num=0 startx=626 starty=793 endx=633 endy=798  ! video/x-raw-rgb,framerate=10/1 ! videorate ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale method=1 ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=8,height=6,framerate=10/1 ! theoraenc ! oggmux name=mux ! filesink location=/tmp/tmp0T1h8T

  • File "/home/descender/installs/istanbul-cvs/lib/python2.4/site-packages/istanbul/main/tray_icon.py", line 64 in _trayicon_clicked

    self._pipeline = gst.parse_launch(final_pipeline)
gobject.GError: could not link videoscale0 to theoraenc0 


Expected results:
Either:
1. Area selected is recorded, no matter how small.
2. A warning is shown and recording cannot be started.


Does this happen every time?
Yes
