Installation #2

This is more of a developer to developer complaint than anything else

You are hosting on github, and sourceforge. Really? Consolidate it to one domain i say.
Paltry information at best to install this
Does one need to install ruby to use this?
Does one need to install java to use this?
Does one need to modify the PATH to use this?

This information is critical to installation yet is not listed anywhere. You include FFmpeg exe but not a single mention of ruby.

has anything here not been resolved?

[dshow @ 00000000002ED190] Could not enumerate video devices.
video=screen-capture-recorder: Input/output error

rdp commented 13 years ago

32 bit ffmpeg? does VLC show it in the list of directshow devices, I assume not? Could you install http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5555 first and then reinstall it, and see if it works?

ghost commented 13 years ago

With 32-bit FFmpeg and Visual C++ installed, this works. Some problems:

Not the 32-bit FFmpeg nor Visual C++ are listed in the "Installation" section of the README

With "mp4" output I am getting errors

real-time buffer 409% full! frame dropped!
[dshow @ 01FF8440] real-time buffer 409% full! frame dropped!

a workaround for me was to use "avi"

In addition color with mp4 was messed up, avi was good.

rdp commented 13 years ago

good point, ok added it to README. What video encoding are you using for mp4? (your message might imply that it can't keep up with the input). What did the messed up coloring look like?
