I also use ffmpeg to capture since I don't like all the steps required to get a decent video out of GLC with its custom format. Most of the examples I've seen involve crosscoding directly to MPEG4 or some other format that introduces artifacts before you even begin editing it, and lossless conversions are too slow.

That's why I prefer something that outputs a lossless, editable, compatible source video to begin with.

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 5 video.mkv

I have a beastly machine though, it probably won't work so well on slower computers.

fraps is good if u put the source clips into windows live movie maker for editing which shrink the sizes down by a lot

@Scias can you put a little more info on GLC and what params you pass to it. At least to get a starting point and not reinvent the hot water.

Thank you for this vid, I really enjoyed it.

Weird, even in alsamixer ? Well must be because I have a Soundblaster then ...
I have seen it's possible to create a sort of virtual input in .asoundrc that records all the sound from the computer (sort of virtual stereo mix), but can't get info about it atm.

Well either you record to a raw format which is less stressful while recording (so more fps - glc approach) but it needs to encode it later or you directly encode which is technically slower (your ffmpeg line) - but since you have a beast as a computer you can afford it...
But what I don't like about ffmpeg is that it grabs the X11 output, which means any window or notification going over RO will be recorded. Also it's technically slower than grabbing the opengl output from the video framebuffer like glc does.
Whatever, both approaches work anyways. I just have a personal preference for GLC because it's as simple and powerful as fraps and isn't as stressful as ffmpeg while recording.

I convert the GLC videos with mencoder and the option "-oac copy" that makes a h264 avi file with the same lossless quality and no artifacts at all.

@Scias can you put a little more info on GLC and what params you pass to it. At least to get a starting point and not reinvent the hot water.

To record RO with GLC, you have to launch with glc-capture, for example

(from RO's directory)
$> glc-capture -o "outputfile.glc" ./rolauncher

This will launch RO, and whenever you want to record, press "shift+f9" in game, to stop recording, press shift+f9 again.
This is the simple way to record with it.

There's a lot of more or less useful parameters, like "-b back -i" that will draw an indicator when you are recording, "--disable-audio" to disable audio, etc rtfm...
Then once you recorded, you get a very heavy raw lossless yuv video file only playable with glc-play, so you have to encode it if you want to play it on other players or edit it. I have a script that does the job for me

#!/bin/bash

for arg do FILE=$arg; done
if [ "$FILE" == "" ]; then
	exit 1
fi

glc-play "${FILE}" -o - -y 1 | mencoder -demuxer y4m - -oac copy -ovc x264 -of avi -o "${FILE}".avi


# glc-play "${FILE}" -a 1 -o -| lame -hV2 - tmp.mp3
# glc-play "${FILE}" -o - -y 1 | mencoder -demuxer y4m - -audiofile tmp.mp3 -oac copy -ovc x264 -of avi -o "${FILE}".avi
# rm -f tmp.mp3

The commented part is for encoding audio too.
So what I do is just ./encode.sh file.glc and I get a shiny lossless avi file.

Well if you need more info or help just pm me.
