Usage: x11movie [-vhbd] [-wrfspeq <value>]
Description:
x11movie is an interactive bash script for recording an mpeg-movie
of your actions in X11.
Options:
-v print [v]ersion information
-h show [h]elp information (this text)
-b set [b]eep on and send a beep for each record. This will only work
when margin bell has been enabled in your xterm.
-d set [d]ebug on. Print more information in addition to the normal
blabber e.g. display free disk space on the current filesystem.
-w value [w]ait n seconds between each screenshot. Default is set to 2.
Useful is a value between 2 and 4. 0 is not allowed.
-r value set [r]esize geometry, see convert(1). Default is 1000x800. If set
to Null resize is off.
-f value enables a time lapse function. N copies of the same source [f]rame
will be created in the movie, making fast actions better visible.
Especially useful for high values with the -w option.
-s value set [s]harpen on. Sharpen the images before encoding. Default is
set to 10.
-p value which screenshot [p]rogram to use: <import> or <xwd>, Default is
set to xwd and fallback to import.
-e value which [e]ncoder to use: <mpeg_encode> or <ppmtompeg>, Default is
set to mpeg_encode and fallback to ppmtompeg.
-q value set [q]uality by compression level only when using import. Default
value is set to 100. Quality can also be a performance issue. See
import(1)
Interactive Mode:
While recodring you are able to <s> stop, <p> pause and <r> resume
recording. You will also be asked before mpeg movie encoding starts.
Example: x11movie -p import -r 500 -w 3 -s 40 -f 30
Reqirements:
identify(1)(ImageMagick(1)), convert(1)(ImageMagick(1)),
mpeg_encode(1) or ppmtompeg(1)(netpbm(1))
xwm(1) or import(1)(ImageMagick(1)),
