VLC screencasting not displaying mouse

Postby abcuser » 04 Mar 2012 11:21

Hi,
I am using VLC 2.0.0 on Windows XP sp3. I would like to screen cast and save the output in ogg format. Looking around the forums I came out with the following command:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" screen:// --dshow-fps=24 --screen-fps=24 --screen-width=1024 --screen-height=768 --screen-follow-mouse --screen-mouse-image c:\cursor.png --sout "#transcode{venc=theora,quality:19,scale=1,fps=24}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=c:\screencast.ogg}}}" --no-sout-audio
File c:\cursor.png is ordinary mouse PNG file. I can open it with image viewer and it is displayed ok.
I have uploaded the cursor file to: https://imgur.com/RbsnY

Am I doing something wrong? How to get mouse icon displaying inside screen cast?
Thanks

Someone complained earlier about the cursor issue, so I don't know if the option actually works. You can leave "--dshow-fps=24" out since you aren't opening a dshow device.
