Hello All,

I’m using ubuntu as my development server. And some application need tutorial video. I’ve made it using Gtk-RecordmyDesktop, but the result format is .ogg. I’ll try to edit it using Video Editor (Avidemux) but .ogg is not supported.

Is there any software to capture Desktop to .mpg or .avi?

PS: Sorry for my English

Hi,

Maybe the easiest way to do this is using ffmpeg.

You can install it on Ubuntu by typing the following on the command line;
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Once installed, cd into the directory where your .ogg file is and type the following to convert it…
ffmpeg -i myvideo.ogg -b 384000 -s 610x400 -pass 1 -passlogfile log-file myvideo.flv

In the above example I’ve converted it into FLV, so displaying on the web with flash, you could, of course, change the extension of myvideo to avi or whatever you need.
