On debian jessie, even in lxc

aptitude install xvfb libgl1-mesa-dri libegl1-mesa-drivers quake darkplaces mesa-utils

xvfb-run -s "-screen 0 640x480x24" darkplaces +playdemo 1 +cl_capturevideo 1

For sound load modprobe snd-dummy on the host, restart the container. :o)

Huh, capturing video on a headless server is easy!

XAUTHORITY= # maybe not needed?
Xvfb :2 -screen 0 800x600x24 &
export DISPLAY=:2.0
darkplaces-sdl +playdemo 1 +cl_capturevideo 1 # ugly dp video capture as test

Audio is missing as the server has no soundchip. Maybe there is a way to use a dummy device?

I did install "xorg-server-xvfb xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm xf86-video-sis xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit xorg-apps", some of which were probably not needed.
Seems like other engines like to use XFree86-VidModeExtension which is not available with xvfb. Tried so far: tyr-quake, tyr-glquake, requiem

On second thought, you are right. volume was set to 1 where 0.7 is the default. I will use that from now on. Thanks!

Spirit · 2013-05-20 20:20:15

I compared to other Quake videos on Youtube and it seems ok.

negke · 2013-05-20 07:23:21

Whatever you use for the audio, please lower the volume/normalization settings by at least 1/3.

If you are concatting with ffmpeg, make sure the input files have the same audio characteristics. My problem was that I had files with both 44.1 and 48 kHz.

Or not, the ffmpeg way gives me problems in mplayer when it gets to the quickloading bits. mplayer stops there. vlc plays them but shows a brief black frame. Maybe that file is bad?

I cannot append with avidemux anymore, sound gets borked. :(

"mencoder middle_____-Mar-23-2013-18*.mkv -oac copy -ovc copy -o test.mkv" = broken

The -i filelist concat demuxer version of ffmpeg seems to work. http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/How% … es#demuxer . The "name|name2" is NOT the demuxer!

To append multiple files in Avidemux, drag and drop them from a file browser window.

Appending mkv files works fine.

Concat with ffmpeg is a pain in the ass. Avidemux does it well.

-----

I am I/O bound on capturing. ~60MB/s on sda SAMSUNG HD154UI, ~80MB/s on sdb WDC WD20EARX. CPU and GPU are relaxed when capturing. CPU is 100% when sitting in the console. Someone gift me a SSD please.

Encoding is CPU bound since I use x264. AMD Phenom II X4 945 95W (C3) could be ~100% faster. Someone gift me a better CPU please. http://www.tweakpc.de/hardware/tests/cp … x264&lang=

Uploading is OH LOOK 6MBit/s! Nevermind all above. :(

Still too dark :]

Note to self: requiem does capture with correct gamma in window mode, -gamma 0.7 DOES capture with that.

edit: It also seems to work in fullscreen. I do not remember why it did not do that earlier.

To cut off everything after 10m11s:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -t 00:10:11 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.mkv
