hi (again) i would like to be able to capture part of the screen of the computer where pure data is running: some kind of video snapshot in real time. For example: get a window 400x400 offset 600+400 on screen:0 and send it to position 0+0 to screen:1 or send it to another machine via OSC Simone
If you are on Linux, I recommend (gtk-)recordmydesktop. It does what it says on the tin!
hi yes i am on linux, but before i start another new adventure, can i use this program to stream over a pd application or not --
Sorry, I only read the first half of your post. recordmydesktop will only output ogg theora files AFAIK. xvidcap OTOH can output in a variety of formats and also write to a unix pipe, so theoretically you could do:
mkfifo your_pipe xvidcap -your_flags --file - > your_pipe
Then open the named pipe in your video player of choice. I've found xvidcap to be pretty flaky and tricky to figure out though.
