Screen vids?

Is it possible to record a video in a game on Linux?

I just like the way that if you get a swarm of bombers (in free camera) to attack the enemy comm, put the camera right above the comm, and "track" the bomber. It's just impossible to capture that as a screenshot.

I haven't tested it with spring yet but I've used it for other games and it works great.

istanbul / recordmydesktop works gr8 for me.

My cpu and graphics card aren't exactly the newest, so my computer can't cope with istanbul (or recordmydesktop) at the same time as Spring. Thanks all the same

Why isn't the recording available on Windows also built into Spring on Linux?

No one bothered yet to write a Linux version of it. (It uses win32 APIs, Video For Windows and AVIFile DLLs IIRC.)

How does it work? Because maybe, if it saved one jpeg file for each frame, I could encode them using mencoder. The thing is, how do I get the jpegs?

you could make the replay run REAL slow and just take a screen shot every second... I think you could even make a LUA script that would do so for you.

1. How do I make it run at exactly 1 FPS?
2. Does anyone know where to find a tutorial for Spring Lua scripting?
3. Once I know where one is, does anyone know how to save a screenshot every frame using lua?
