xvidcap --audio yes
Audio support not present in this binary.

Re: No audio support in latest version of xvidcap

I had the same problem.

I have a fix, ugly, but worked for me.

I uninstalled xvidcap with pacman -R xvidcap

Downloaded the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvidcap/. Got a compiler error on one of the header files. Googled the compiler error and found a fix.

capture.c

Line 68 change
#include <X11/extensions/shmstr.h>
to
#include <X11/extensions/shmproto.h>

...
I also couldn't get the "make install" to work either.  I skipped that step and just installed the xvidcap binary into the /usr/bin directory. Ugly but worked.
...
Hope that helps.

Re: No audio support in latest version of xvidcap

thanks.  I did that already. Did you do a 'sudo make install'? That should have worked.  Reported a bug too.

Re: No audio support in latest version of xvidcap

I have the same "Audio support not present in this binary" problem on an x86_64 machine.

The Arch Linux package already includes mwave's suggestion to change "shmstr.h" to "shmproto.h" (http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/communi … .1.1.patch).  But, I got the "no audio" problem.  I tried makepkg-ing the package myself, but I got the same "no audio" problem.

Re: No audio support in latest version of xvidcap

I tried applying a (slightly modified) patch from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258042 that modifies "configure.in", but I still get "Audio support not present in this binary" when running "xvidcap --audio yes".

For those interested, here is my patch (xvidcap-1.1.7-avcodec_decode_audio.patch):

Re: No audio support in latest version of xvidcap

Did anybody manage to get audio to work?

According to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18038#comment56539 the last thing to fix is to replace 'av_fifo_init', 'av_fifo_write' and 'av_fifo_read'.

Does anybody have alternatives to offer? besides recordmydesktop and glc?
