Scrot to capture a specific monitor

I'm trying to use scrot to capture a specific monitor to no avail. The command i use is:
$ scrot -c -d 5 -q 100 -s
And if i click on my desktop it captures both my monitors (which in turn is awesome, need i capture both), and I'm assuming it's due to having my Nvidia Xserver config set up for 'Twinview'. I already checked the man page, and can't find any info on the matter. I know ffmpeg has an option to use the following argument
-i :0.0
And I'm wondering if scrot has a similar feature.
Grateful for any help.

Please don't do that.

  • How can  I capture a specific number of screen caps

    Using final cut or any other application, how can I capture a specific number of screen caps? Each video will have a different length.

    Bob,
    Please clarify your question. Are you asking about screen captures? If so, what software are you using and what does this have to do with FCP?

  • How do you make an application open on a specific monitor?

    How do you make an application open on a specific monitor? I have two monitors, and I was able to get Firefox to open on the secondary display always by resizing it with the option or command key [I forget which one] and then quitting it. Now everytime I start it, it opens on the second monitor.
    However, when I try to do the same with QuickTime [when playing videos], it always opens on the primary display no matter what I do with it. How do I make it always open on the secondary display?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no, Spaces is not what I want. I have two physical monitors, and simply want an application to always open on one monitor, not be able to switch back and forth between different desktops.

    How would you even do this in other technologies (JSP, ASP, etc.)? As far as I know it is not possible to "capture" browser events such as refresh or when the user clicks the "Back" or "Forward" buttons.  This is not a WebDynpro-specific limitation.

  • Need Advice: Which Camera 4 Capturing HDTV & Flipping Monitor Horizontally

    I have CS4 Premiere and need to buy an HDTV camera and have questions how to achieve the following:
    1) Capture hours of continous video direct to PC hard drive without stopping.
    2) Display in real time a monitor image with the video flipped horizontally on a consumer LCD HDTV, so the monitor image is reversed as if you were viewing yourself in a mirror (we're recording a makeup artist who is applying makeup to a woman and needs his monitor to reflect a mirror-like image)
    Any idea how to flip a monitor signal horizontally? I know how to do this in post production, but I need to do it on the realtime monitor feed from the camera.
    Your recommendations for HDTV camera that works well with CS4, probably feeding a USB-2.0 signal to the PC.
    Jonathan in Atlanta

    I've learned that Adobe OnLocation when capturing video has a setting to flip video horizontally in the monitor display, so that would be a solution. (Few LCD consumer TVs have any ability to flip in hardware, except for Sharp LCD's which seem to have a mirror command, or professional video monitors which often can flip.)
    My nagging problem now is apparently OnLocation cannot capture video from the newer HD consumer cameras which only have USB 2.0 and HDMI outputs, whereas OnLocation CS4 at this moment appears to only support 1394 firewire. New cameras no longer have 1394 outputs, the trend is to USB 2.0

  • Possible to capture direct from monitor?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to capture video directly from my computer monitor.  I want to create a video tutorial on running some programs.  I don't really know anything about the video software, I bought the CS5 master collection for the other programs.  So, I just wondered if any of them can do it before I spend $40 on FRAPS.
    Thanks.

    Check out CamStudio; it's a free screen recording program.
    Note that if you use the CamStudio codec, you'll have to transcode the files to a different codec as the CS codec is not 64-bit. You can also Google for 64-bit screen capture codecs, and use one of those.

  • Account Specific Monitor Problems

    I recently started having a problem where my screen colors are washed out and the text has a washed out grainy appearance. I have been having a few odd spinning beach ball lags lately when the network was being accessed, but it got serious today when I was trying to import at webconnect file into Quicken 2007 and it locked up. After that, my monitor display looks terrible. Really weird color things are going on. For example in Excel what used to be green highlighted cells with black text are no longer highlighted and the text font is green instead. The blue shading in the Mac OK buttons etc looks washed out and not fully filling the button. Messing with the monitor controls and trying to calibrate it are no help.
    The odd thing is that when I log into another account on this machine the display is fine. None of the color changes in Excel are present, the screen text is clear and sharp, color of buttons and scroll bars are fine.
    I have run cocktail and cleared all my user and system caches. I did not clear the caches of the other account that is working OK.
    Any ideas why this is happening to just one account and not the other? I guess that means it can;t be a hardware issue at least.

    I figured it out. I found a comment in another post that this might be the contrast setting in the Universal Access System Preference. Sure enough when I checked my contrast slider it was in the middle, and when I slid it to the far left back to normal all my screen settings returned to normal. This explains why it was user specific.
    I'd like to disable Universal Access, or at least the keyboard shortcut to control the contrast settings, which I probably hit by accident when trying to bring up force quit.

  • PP CS3 HD capture (my specific setup question)

    I know this has probably been covered before, but I am trying to test my setup in case there is something specific I need to do:
    EQUIPMENT
    SONY HDR-HC9 HDV 1080i CAMCORDER
    SONY GVH-D700 HDV VIDEO WALKMAN w/ 7" LCD (used to capture video to avoid constant plugging in/out of camcorder firewire)
    Dell computer (3 GB RAM, not sure of the processor off-hand but it runs CS3 nicely...lots of resolution options with the largest being 2048x1536...I currently have it set at 1024x768)
    I've run a firewire connection from the walkman into the computer.  When I put a standard mini-DV tape in, PP captures like normal.  When I try an HD tape with HD footage (1080i), PP tells me there is a connection but I get no image whatsoever.
    I'm not sure if it has something to do with 1080i just not matching my screen resolution or what.  If that's the case, would one of the higher resoltions do the trick?
    Thanks for the insight!

    It doesn't appear HDV split works with my capture deck (see first post).  Is this designed soley for camcorders to be run through?  When I open the program it just says nothing is connected.
    As far as PP, although there is not an exact preset for my deck I can get the play, stop, rewind and fast-forward functions to work on the capture screen but I cannot record.  I can even see the image in perfect clarity on the deck itself.
    At this point I'm not sure how to capture HD!  I really do not want to have to connect the camcorder each time as this was the whole reason why I bought the deck.
    Thanks for the input, I'm anxiously awaiting your replies and insight!

  • Capturing OBIEE Performance Monitor - Counters

    Is there a place the counters displayed on the performance monitoring page in OBIEE is captured or can it be read so that we can see some trending on the cache usage?

    The DMS counters are not captured anywhere.
    You can access them using OPMN or WLST, and capture them using your own tools.

  • MSI GF4 Ti4200 Video-in/capture on secondary monitor.???

    Hi,
    I have an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X (dual head, Video I/O).  I am running it in dual monitor setup.  When i try to view the video input on the secondary monitor i get the message:
     "due to limitations of your computer's display device, this video can only play back on one of your monitors. please move the video window completely onto that monitor"
    Does anyone know if this is a driver problem? or really it is a limitation with the card?. though i do not know why would the card be able to view the video capture window on one monitor but not the other?.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    L.
    P.S.: system:
          MSI T14200-VTD8X  128m
          ASUS A7v8x Mobo
          512M RAM
          Win XP

    Yes, I am using NVidia's nView as well as their WDM drivers.  my dual monitor support seems to work fine.
    Only if i want to see video input feed using something like win_DVR  or Win_VCR or even Win_Producer that i get this message if the software/input winodow was on the secondary monitor.
    Any help would be appriciated :D

  • Specific Monitor - Notification schedule

    Hello Everyone,
    I wonder if it's possible to setup a schedule for notifications beeing sent per monitor.
    For Example in our environment every night at 10 PM the snapshots of our NetApp Volumes are being made. So we get "Lun Latency" and "Controller Latency" email warnings every night because of the increased overall utilization of our network.
    It would be great to disable notification emails of these monitors in a period between 10 PM and 2 AM.
    Is there a way to realize this?
    Cheers,
    Marius

    2. Reorganize subscription

    - exclude these monitors from other subscribers
