xvidcap/gvidcap on 6.1R -- no joy in Muddville!
I've tried the ports, and packages, but seem to have no joy. I'm getting
the FFMPEG not supported message, even though I've added ffmpeg from
ports, packages and even svn'ed the most recent and built from scratch.
There is a version of gvidcap in gnome, but it does not allow anything but
X-win capture, and when run from the command line, I get the ffmpeg
message, and it dies.
I've copied the latest xvidcap from sourceforge, and followed the faq
instructions for configuring with the --with-forced-embedded-ffmpeg (and
without), and can't seem to get the right magic going.
Can anyone tell me the incantation (likely just the ./configure related
options) which will get xvidcap installed, and working with ffmpeg
properly, so I can record screen vids? Oh, and ultimately, as I want to
record sound, I'll probably have to go through this all over again with
respect to the audio codecs once I get the vidcap running. 8-{
Thanks for any pointers ...
Rob.

I'm not sure to understand; have you installed the port sysutils/xvidcap
(or the corresponding package)? Which version?
ATM xvidcap cannot use the external ffmpeg or ffmpeg-devel, it's why
the port is built with -with-forced-embedded-ffmpeg, until ffmpeg-devel
will be updated to a newer snapshot.

Thierry,
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to install xvidcap from ports, and that failed. I've installed
from packages, and gnome even picks it up as an application -- but, alas
no support for FFMPEG is available, and that version while it works, only
allows X frames to be captured (*.xwd).

I've tried building the latest version of xvidcap (1.1.4p1) from
source(forge), with the --with-forced-embedded-ffmpeg and --with-gtk
options set on the configure, but the xvidcap produced still complains
about the ffmpeg support (/usr/local/bin/xvidcap).
I've tried compiling the ffmpeg from the project SVN tree as well, to get
the latest and greatest, but that failed to compile.
At this point, I think I've tried just about everything I can think of to
get a version of x/gvidcap with ffmpeg support, and have had no luck. 8-/
Any pointers would be deeply appreciated.
Rob.

I guess that your ports tree is not up-to-date: 1.1.4.p1 has been
committed on Nov. 18.
This version lets you record mpeg files, which are identified by mplayer
as:
[ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
[ffodivx] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG-4)
Good luck!
