FLV Screen Capture

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use the Robot class to capture images from the screen and encode them to an FLV stream on the fly.
Anybody have any pointers or a general direction to take to start this?
I already have the Robot class capturing images from the region of the screen that I want, I am at the point where I have no idea how to encode them to an FLV stream.
Thank You!

Was the link given to you more than a month ago any use? I have to ask because it looks like you abandoned the thread.

  • Screen Capture Solution, and/or HD Recording

    I am part of the video conferencing group at a university.  Aside from broadcasting classes, we also archive them and provide media recording solutions for faculty and staff.  In the past, we have used the Flash Media Live Encoder to record A/V streams, and later host them on our Flash Media Server for later viewing.
    Increasingly though, our professors have been requesting a way to capture their Powerpoints/Documents/Etc. off of the computer in full resolution while they are teaching the class, and having the standard video image of their lecture attached to it in some way.  We have tried using Sonic Foundry's MediaSite device, and while it gets the job done (simultaneously records audio, video, and computer screen), it is tedious to work with, as it uses it's own proprietary player.  What we really need is something that records one large FLV file, with the video image overlayed on top of the computer image at high resoution.
    Now, does Adobe have any software/hardware that can capture all three, whether it integrates with Captivate or is stand-alone?  If not, then is there a way to get the Flash Media Live Encoder to record at HD resolutions? (if there is, we have PiP equipment that can feed two video sources simultaneously)  Right now, the max resolution our Encoder will record at is 720x576.

    You can try with free screen capture softwares like :
    UScreen Capture
    VHScreen Capture
    Camtasia
    Also there are many device which can do this like Vision RGB, Epiphan etc.
    These devices gets listed in FMLE as anyother normal video device. For audio you van attach any mike on your computers and can use the sound card of your system in audio device list.
    These devices lets you capture HD video at maximum 10 FPS depending upon your machine hardware capabilities but i think this FPS is more tha sufficient for power point slides and presentations.
    Also please keep bitrates little bit high because of high size video.
    Please let me know if this works for you.

  • Question about live streaming screen capture

    Hi,
    at my office we conduct live video broadcasts using widows media encoder, and we're working on moving away from it to a newer method, which most likely will be something flash related.
    how the procedure is done today is that a user logs in the windows media encoder program, starts the broadcast, the broadcast starts building an asf file in the server people watch, our users get the link and they join. once the broadcast is finished, the host that did the broadcast exits and saves the file, in the video server. the broadcast is a screen capture presentation of what a host has in his computer.
    I want to achieve this or something similar, using a broadcast on flash streaming, so that both, users can log to a link we provide to them, the video server saves the file (preferably as .flv) and of course the broadcast is done nice and smoothly without interruptions or gaps (or at least with a minimum amount).
    my question would be,
    what process do you guys use to broadcast ? say other members. I'm talking about a simultanous broadcast for about 200 people, I guess it's similar to the numbers that you handle.
    I'm pretty wide open on slight modifications on the process, such as maybe the host of the broadcast, saving the broadcast file in his computer and uploading it into the video server afterwards, although I would pprefer of course if it's pushed directly.
    resources that I have available:
    we have a windows media server -the one we're using right now, and we also have an adobe flash media server, with full license. we have a flash encoder but so far we haven't been able to figure out how to maintain a screencapture broadcast. it works, but only for about 2 minutes and then the player stops reproduction of the broadcast, however the encoding still goes on.
    so, while you can answer my request, if you can talk about your broadcasting experience, on broadcasting screen capture...
    I am open to all recommendations and suggestions, and I am thankful to all your responses.

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How can I create a PNG or JPG screen capture or screenshot of the entire length of a long email message?

    Hi all,
    I need to create screenshots of emails, but I need to image the entire length of those emails. Can I using Mail or any other email application? Here is what I have tried so far ...
    I can only do a screen capture of the portion of the email that shows up on my 27" Mac. I can reduce the size of the emails somewhat, but usually not enough to capture their entire length.
    I tried going through Gmail using Firefox + Awesome Screenshots plugin, but couldn't get Gmail to open entire page so as to capture it. Normally I view this Gmail account using Apple Mail.
    "Printing" to a PDF is not an acceptable solution for my needs, because that changes the native formatting to fit the print / pdf format. I need to show the exact email layout as thought it were an actual email.
    Any ideas? Thaks for your help.

    Installed ScreenGrab add-on to Firefox and, sorry, it still only captures the window to the extent that it is open, and there is no way that I know to open an email window in Gmail so as to show the netire lengthof a long email message.
    So, ScreenGrab helped me get more screen capture of an email, but still not yet the entire email. I used Save>Complete Page/Frame, but still no more than what is visible.
    I'll keep looking. And thanks for your suggestion Sabatica.

  • How to get a custom screen capture size smaller than my slide size

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture a fixed sized screen on my computer (a softphone) for use in a youtube hd size format training video. I can't seem to figure out how to customize the size of my screen capture so it fits only around the phone and leaves me blank space on my slides. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Nikkie

    Hi there
    This should be simple. From Captivate, when you set it up to record you simply define an area there.
    Or are you possibly saying you cannot consistently get a size set so that you can record many different projects perhaps over several days? If that's the case, perhaps you need to investigate using something like the freeware Sizer utility to configure things a bit.

  • Error Message When Importing Quicktime Screen Capture to FCE

    As I said in the subject I'm having issues importing a Quicktime Screen Capture into Final Cut Express. I keep getting this message.
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
    I figure it has to be a quick fix for this simple problem. And it's probably just my first time.

    QuickTime Screen Recordings are H.264 video files. You need to convert this to +QuickTime Apple Intermediate Codec+ in order to use it in FCE. MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this for you.

  • Since Firefox 6.0 copying images, by either Win 7 fxn or by screen capture fxn's, no longer works

    -- At least, this is the way it seems... a letter I wrote first to the VMN Toobox staff (and to Firefox)...
    Hi VMN Staff/Inventor – and Hi to my favorite browser’s staff at Firefox,
    I must say that I really love your Screen Capture fxn for the VMN Toobox 4.25! I use it ALL of the time! Hopefully, I have sent you some money already. Tonight however something is really wrong! When I fired up the computer this afternoon and, as usual, was doing research for my office, some webpage logos wouldn't copy, so as usual I dropped down the VMN Toolbox selections, selected Screen Capture and arranged the capture bars over the image, got the yellow flash-across the selected area and pasted the picture in to the document. I looked and looked, reshot the image several times but unbelievably … THE SCREEN CAPTURE IMAGE on the document WAS BLANK!
    This NEVER occurred before. And, even after restarting the computer it still did not work.
    Then I happened to be in a document where VMN screen capture images had been added - they were ALL blank! Checking other documents - all screenshot images in all documents are blank, totally whited out, with the black lines of where the images used to be right there, emphasizing that something is gone. Like a painting stolen from a museum wall and the photon shadow is all that remains.
    I had not used Awesome Screenshot for quite a while, but there it was up on my toolbar - tried that - same damn thing! What's going on? I am pretty certain I let Mozilla FireFox go ahead and update from v5.x to v6.0 as soon as I signed on, and several add-ons were suddenly "no longer compatible," but as far as I can tell your software doesn't rely on any plug-ins. The Awesome Screenshot extension add-on for Firefox was still enabled, yet it did not work.
    Further troubleshooting - as I was at my desktop on the network in the office, I then fired up my laptop. This time I DID NOT allow Mozilla Firefox to update from v5.x to 6.0. The VMN toolbox screenshot worked fine! Uh, oh Firefox…?
    So, I will be sending this message to Firefox also - I detest Microsoft, only use their software at all only because I HAVE to, I almost never use IE v8.x or 9.x or wherever it is now - but can your people at VMN (and y'all at Firefox) explain how the only browser I use, Firefox, could possibly reach in to my documents file and cause the screenshots downloaded to the clipboard, then to documents, to suddenly no longer be able to be seen? Is this even possible?
    Lastly, maybe you know something about this - is there any way to actually "see" the clipboard - what's on it at any given time? I cannot find any way to access either file names or images existing on the clipboard no matter how much is on it, or what program I'm using. (An IT level/web developer person I am not, just a physician.)
    I have Windows 7 Professional on my desktop, 4GB RAM, the network/server can only use a 32-bit system type, and everything is highly maintenanced by myself and our IT team, so absolutely everything else is fine. On my laptop I have a Windows 7 Home Premium OS installed and working fine on a brand new HP Pavilion g4 Notebook PC w/ 4GB RAM, 64-bit system type.
    Any time to send me any ideas? Thanks. And you too, Firefox - what's going on?

  • How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

  • Why doesn't markup in Mail app work on screen captures or pasted images?

    When in Mail app, If i right click and choose Capture selection from Screen I can take a screenshot which is inserted into the email.   The markup icon in the top right of the image never appears.  This is also true for images I copy and paste into the email.  It seems to me that being able to markup a screen capture is one of the most important use cases for this type of feature. 

    SteveTEXAS,
    When I right click and choose Capture selection. The image it places in the email will not show up on the recipients side. However if I use the Grab shortcuts on my Mac to take a screenshot then drag them in off the Desktop they not only show up on the recipients side, but Markup seems to work on them as well.
    I have no idea what would cause this. I think it would be something important to provide feedback to Apple about. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can find the Grab app in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot. They will place them on your desktop.
    For a selection - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 )
    To select a whole window - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 4 ) > ( Spacebar ) > Click Window you want
    For whole display - ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( 3 )
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • How do I get a screen capture in Windows on MacBook?

    I'm a new guy to Mac/Mountain Lion, but not to computers, so this question may be a bit dicey.
    I have used Gadwin PrintScreen for years on Microsoft Machines. During Setup, I am allowed to use Ctrl+Printscreen but now I am using, only occasionally, Windows 7 x64 on a partition on my MacBook Pro/Retina. Considering that there is no Printscreen key on the keyboard, I can no longer use the configuration I am accustomed to in the Windows environment on my lovely, shiny Mac. Only combinations ofCtrl/Alt and F keys are allowed. I get "Can't use that key. Already assigned to, etc."
    So then, my query is this, on the Windows side, what keyboard combo will allow me to get a full screen capture? I've tried everything and combed the Apple community to no avail. If there is no keyboard combination, what app can I use that will allow me to do so in a Windows environment on a MacBook Pro/Retina. Just a month old.
    I know how to execute this on the Mountain Lion side, but that key combination doesn't cut it on the Windows side.
    In closing, I hope the solution is an app download to allow me to choose a configuration.
    Thanks for reading,
    Kelly J.

    Sorry I don't know of any key combinations that will do the same thing.

  • I have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem.

    I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
    Here is an image of the issue
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/

    I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
    Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
    Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed.

  • How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?

    I'm on mac osx.
    I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)

    defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"

    Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
    on open theDroppedFiles
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
                set theFileName to name of thisFile

  • Changing file type format in Screen Capture (shift command 4)

    You'd think this would be in a preference menu! But it's nowhere to be found in any apps preference or system preferences.... I've seen posts how to do it in Terminal... and people sell programs to do it.... but Tiger and Leopard have t built in.. sort of....
    The default file format when using SCREEN CAPTURE (ShiftCommand4) was a .pdf ... but then it was changed to .png Some people can't read .png... so I wanted my captures to be in .jpg format.
    You can change the file format type of your SCREEN CAPTURE to any of the following:
    JPG, JPG-2000, TIFF, BMP, PDF, Photoshop, PICT, SGI, PBG, TGA
    But first you have to have a file you want to change (say it is a png).
    Open the file using Preview.
    Once open, under File (in the menu bar) go down to SAVE AS.
    There's you'll see FORMAT and a pull down menu. Choose which one you want...
    Screen capture will now open your captured pictures in that format.
    Crazy, huh?

    The OP here was using a keyboard shortcut, not Grabber.
    I did some further exploring. I just tried TinkerTool again, and again was able to change the file format of saved screencapture files to jpeg. TinkerTool modifies the com.apple.screencapture.plist file the same way that the Terminal command does.
    This clearly works for command-shift-3 and command-shift-4, which save the screencapture image as a file. However, on looking more closely at the O.P.s initial post in this thread, he/she actually said
    I use keyboard shortcut control/command/shift/4
    When you include the control key in the command, the screencapture image gets saved to the clipboard instead of to a file, and you wouldn't normally be aware of its format until you pasted the clipboard contents somewhere else. I don't know where the OP was pasting it, but as was noted in the thread cited above by Baltwo, pasting a sceencapture image from the clipboard into a mail.app message results in a .tiff file being pasted. I also find this to be true in my system - perhaps this is what the OP was doing all along.
    However this is an issue caused by the receiving app, not by the screencapture function. It's possible to look directly at the contents of the clipboard via:
    Finder>Edit Menu>Show Clipboard
    With my screenshot format set to jpeg by TinkerTool, I used control-command-shift-4 to save a screenshot to the clipboard. Looking directly at the clipboard in Finder as above, the clipboard image was a jpeg. When I then pasted the clipboard contents into a mail message and used Mail>File Menu>QuickLook Attachments, the pasted graphic in the mail message was a .tiff.
