VLScreenCapture color problem

[Ted Wagner]

Well, Dave, your reply directed me to the solution! What I needed to do was place a VLResize filter between the VLScreenCapture and VLDSVideoLogger components. With that, good quality!

Now to figure out why my recorded video files have the wrong frame rate -- they play at 2 or 3x normal speed!!!

That is a known codec issue, if you always record at the same fps you can try putting a VLChangeRate in front of the logger set at the fps you record at.

Thanks Dave -- I'll give the VLChangeRate a try -- but where do is set the fps I record at? I'm using the Xvid encoder and I can't find any such setting in the "Params | Config..." (Xvid Configuration).

[Dave]

You set the fps on the VLScreenCapture, and optionally on the VLChangeRate.

Excellent, that worked! Thanks Dave!!!

I have yet to create a digital video file that has any entries in the "Video" section of the file | Properties | Details. Is this codec behavior? Is there anything I can do to make this happen?
