Screencasting

@TSK

Try disabling overlay in either DvPlayer or MPlayer.

If that doesn't help try the s/w scaling mode in SRec 1.5:

Disabling overlay did the trick (to that black&white issue). Mouse pointer recording didn't work. I was thinking to suggest to do it like that but you were faster

That's because I've only had time to implement the GUI part of it yet. It will be implemented in the next version.

Sorry, I forgot to answer to you. Using "Start" and "End" buttons is like when you mark text keeping left mouse button pressed down while moving the cursor. It's not copied into clipboard before you press RAMIGA+C (or CTRL+C on other platforms). So when you have marked area you have to either cut it away ("Delete") from the target or copying that area from source to target ("Insert"). Check the readme file (v1.1).

If I'll have time, energy and motivation my plan is to check how to use xvidcore.library and that avi lib salass00 is using with Srec and change Videoeditor completely. The GUI would be changed too. But I don't make any promises. If that one guy can finish porting that OpenVideoEditor some day I bet (I guess) it is a lot better than my app.

That's correct.

@TSK

Thanks for the reply.
Lately, life (& work) is getting in the way of me enjoying my Amiga.
but I will get back to trying out the videoeditor program, and any future developments would be good.

I'll get back to you after some more testing.

If you need any help with any of this this, just ask. The avilib could probably be made into a .library (avi.library) too if you want.

That would be very nice, please.

@TSK

I've just uploaded a beta avi.library to OS4Depot/Aminet.

I'm considering removing the xio code from avilib and replacing it with normal stdio or preferably dos.library calls. This should make the library much smaller and maybe faster too. Also the xio code doesn't look threadsafe which is bad for a shared library.

SRec 1.6
avi.library 52.2

@salass00

May I ask you how is it that you are so fast at converting unix libs into standard Shared Amiga Libraries ?
Do you have a magic utility that gathers every prototypes from one (or a collection of) C headers and generates the xml file for you ?

@abalaban

I wish. No, the secret is a lot of tedious typing.

I do have a kind of procedure for this though. It goes something like this:

- create libname.xml file
- "idltool -a libname.xml"
- create libraries/libname.h
- delete libname_files/main directory
- edit libname_vectors.c
- edit init.c
- edit Makefile
- compile library

@salass00

yes but I find the "create the lib.xml file" a bit annoying this can be automated by extracting (eventually after some selection) functions prototypes from header file(s)...
The following sequence then is not so hard especially when the template generated by idltool would only be a wrapper on the static library at least for a first version. Some sort of Amigaization could probably be required : for example replacing callbacks by hooks...

a little tip for thouse who have not tryet it.
record on harddisk dont use ramdisk.
its faster this way.. anyway it is still. a little slowy on my micro

SRec 1.8

@salass00

Great man..I Dl now it... great tools...now I will make an small presentation video with it ...

The clipping code for the pointer drawing was seriously broken in SRec 1.8 and could cause DSIs if the pointer was positioned partially outside the display. I've just uploaded SRec v1.9 which fixes these issues.

Just ignore the container and busy pointer settings in the GUI because these are not implemented yet.
