    While we're experimenting with video capturing, if anyone here is
comfortable with patching and building your own FG, I invite you to have
a try with my screen streamer patch, which allows you to capture FG's
screen directly, without using an external program.


    I'd like to know how much better/worse this streamer performs
comparing to things like xvidcap and yukon.

    Please make sure you read the header of the screenstreamer.cxx file.


    In short, you run fgfs with an extra argument, like:
--screenstreamer=localhost,20000
    
    Then you can capture FG and transcode into a video on the fly, say
with mencoder, by doing:

    mencoder -nocache -demuxer rawvideo
      -rawvideo w=640:h=480:fps=25:format=rgb24
      -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=480
      -o output.avi -ffourcc DIVX
      "http://localhost:20000/?fps=25";

    A lot more details and examples can be found in the
screenstreamer.cxx file.


    Any feedback would be much appreciated.


    And just recently I have setup an experimental live "mpcam" on the
mpmap. My originally e-mail to the devel list:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12262.html

    So you can see the screen streamer in live action.
