Hi guys,

There's a great program to capture movies from running OpenGL programs,
yukon. http://www.neopsis.com/projects/yukon/

Although in a early state, it's easy to install and works very good. I wrote a blog entry
about it here: http://primforge.com/2007-12-08/yukon-capturing-sl/

Have fun,
Torrid

Thank you Torrid

Works nearly just out of the compiler box ... i followed an install howto for ubuntu
(well ... i needed to add a [BASH] mkdir ~/.yukon [/BASH] before point 5.)

Yukon Basic Shell Scripts

07-11-2008 02:59

These are some hacked up scripts I've written, I have NOT tested the install script use these at your own risk.

I'd run this from your home directly, not sure if all the packages it needs are in the apt-get line someone so correct me if I'm wrong. To be honest you should just follow the install procedure located at http://dbservice.com/projects/yukon/wiki/HowTo/Install

These scripts are really designed just for Debian/Ubuntu systems

If you're running 64bit system you'll probably need to run this command first as well

From: someone

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32asound2-dev lib32gcc lib32stdc++ gcc-4.2-multilib gcc-multilib

Installation script

To run there are a few ways, some people change the 'secondlife' script by changing line 95 to

From: someone

export SL_CMD='$LL_WRAPPER yukon bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin'

If that doesn't work try putting this near the top:

From: someone

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Or you can call it directly via a launcher or terminal 'yukon secondlife' or 'yukon /dir/to/secondlife'

This Conversion Script, converts raw recording to video file (This is what people tend to recommend)
It saves the final video file to your home directory called "secondlifevideo.ogg"
Type in "ffmpeg2theora --h" into terminal for more conversion options.

This Alternate Conversion Script is the one I personally use because for some bizarre reason it won't pipe the output from seom-filter to ffmpeg2theora directly. I wouldn't use this unless you too have this problem

This does not record audio, I am looking into that now.

I want to post the full scripts in my post but JIRA WEB-715 is stopping me.
