This is a repost from a significantly different yet related thread... I am trying to setup VLC to record (and preferably realtime transcode) my WoW experiences on the fly... if anyone could help me out with where I'm going wrong I'd appreciate it.

----------------------------

Still having difficulty with this, of course my 2nd machine is dead at the moment so I'm trying to transcode straight from the screen (is this possible? Google seems to think so).

vlc screen://

Starts and I can see the video but once I go through the wizard the video disappears and I have the Pause/Stop/etc buttons... it does create a file, but the best I was able to get was an absolute horrible lossy 3 second video with lots of blackspace when the screen wasn't all black...

Ok, maybe not... I just tried outside of wow, and it appears I may need to tell it how many FPS to record at... since http://www.botbh.com/files/testing.avi is what I got for my work...

Any assistance would be appreciated... /grovel.
