Record Audio & Video from Webcam

[daniel]

Hey, thank you, i didn't Guvcview. Looks good. I test it...

Do please report what you think of it

Leiche, have you played with Guvcview in 64 bit?

Only thing that seems to be missing from its controls is the ability to record audio without video.

Also it seems to expect the camera to be /dev/video0 and no other.

But as for video codecs it seems OK, and can output in avi and mkv formats.

I would like to have this one in the standard repo ....  but I guess there is some reason it is not there.

Anyway, just wondered if you had used it 

I can't think of a reason why it isn't in the repos but if it's of any interest, I've just packaged the latest version (1.5.2) and you (or anyone else) are quite welcome to download it from my dropbox. It would be nice to know if it installs correctly or not, thanks

Thank you!

Yes it works on this KDE install .......  and records perfectly video & audio.

Yeah!!  

One comment:     The display is not correct when launched .....  big black space at bottom of pic .....  and when the display window is moved the pic expands to fill it ......  distorting the display.
This does not affect the recording, which produces a correct aspect file.

I'm pleased to hear it installed OK for you 

Regarding your comments, I wouldn't think it's a packaging problem, it's more likely to be a problem/bug in the application. As I'm neither the author nor a programmer, I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it. Perhaps someone with the necessary skills could have a look at the code.

Sorry, did not mean to imply anything wrong with the packaging ......  only a comment in the hope that someone else might report something similar, or no one report it which means it is peculiar to my hardware
