Command Line Screencast

[crackstone]

Hello,

I've been playing around with these commands to start a fullscreen screencast on Snow Leopard and just can't get it to work. Totally new to controlling VLC via command line. Here's are two commands I've been playing around with:

Version 1: based on http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc screen:// --screen-fps=5.0 --screen-top=0 --screen-left=0 --screen-width=1024 --screen-height=765 --sout-transcode-vcodec=h264 -sout-transcode-vb=1024 --sout-transcode-scale=1 --sout-transcode-fps=5.0 --sout-standard-path=/Users/kalliope/Desktop/vlc-test.mp4

Version 2: based on http://sumber-terbuka.blogspot.com/2008 ... ncast.html

Code: Select all

vlc -I rc -vvv screen:// --screen-fps=5.0 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=800,scale=1.0,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{access=file, mux=ffmpeg{mux=mp4},dst="/Users/kalliope/Desktop/test.mp4"}'

The verbose mode writes out loads of lines ... at the end it says:

Code: Select all

[0x600188] main input debug: Buffering 66% [0x600188] main input debug: Stream buffering done (400 ms in 379 ms)

If I then press enter the following appears:

Code: Select all

status change: ( new input: screen:// ) status change: ( audio volume: 256 ) status change: ( play state: 3 )

There's one page on the net where some guy already tested a command line for screencasting but this one doesn't work also - http://sumber-terbuka.blogspot.com/2008 ... ncast.html

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong...

My System:
Mac OS X Version: 10.6.3
Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Thx
