New Video Recording feature [FIXED]

Post by Perryg »

Are there any plans to have the webm recording actually work on modern Linux desktops, like ones with Gnome3, Unity, or cinnamon 3D? All I see is a black screen after login to these.

Add Windows 7 & 8 to this as well. If 3D is enabled all you see is a black screen when playing back.

Also none of the accelerated guests show in the preview window on the main manager when running.

There are plans to support Video Recording for 3D. We *hope* to get this done soon, however time when it gets done really depends on resources we have for this task.
I'll let you know as soon as I have some more precise info about the progress/dates/plans for this.

Thanks misha,
I know that time lines really can't be broadcast, but now we know it is planned and that is good enough. I am sure you know as well as I do that the question was going to come up and we needed something to reply with.

Hi Perry, good news! Video Recording now works for 3D as well. The code is in OSE, so you can test it.
This feature will be publicly available in the next maintenance release.

Hi misha,

Sure enough it works with 3D now. Tested with (debianish) Linux host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest I need to figure out a few things and may actually ask for a change or two, but that is another day. :wink:

Congratulation and job well done!
