For the gtk2 interface, launch with gvidcap.

Here is a sample that I made:

http://26rca.zapto.org/misc/arch/test.mpeg

And, as everyone SHOULD be doing... here is the PKGBUILD:

pkgname=xvidcap
pkgver=1.1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A small tool to capture things going on on an X-Windows display"
url="http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/"
depends=('gtk2')
conflicts=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('b50cc1dd78bdada6b38ca47542287c22')

build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk2 --with-forced-embedded-ffmpeg
    make || return 1
    make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

Very cool, thanks.

Similar topic: Do you know a program to automatically take a screenshot at certain intervals, and then upload it to an FTP server?

There are programs for windows, cant find one for linux.

I guess I could just write a small script using imagemagick, but that would require work.

You can use this. I wrote it a while ago, it is not very sophisticated, I was only fooling around:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir test
cd test
pause=5
frames=2


echo "Starting aniscreen"
echo -e "nn"

for ((a=1000; a <= 999+frames ; a++))
do
        let "currentframe = a-999"
        echo "Capturing Frame" $currentframe "of" $frames "with" $pause "second pause"
        import -window root -resize 400x280 aniscreen-$a.gif
        sleep $pause
done

gifsicle --loopcount=forever --delay=50 --colors 256 `ls *.gif` > anim.gif


echo -e "nDONEn"

Yeah, I ended up just writing a script w/ imagemagick and "ftpput" and then just running it as a cron job.

Thanks though, yours is neat.
