Looks like in this particular case, unlike the previous one involving the embedded video, xvidcap is crashing because I did not select an area to be captured.
Here's more extensive debugging information for what it's worth. Note that I've compiled xvidcap from the source package and run GDB against it. ** Attachment added: "Output of 'gdb /usr/local/bin/xvidcap 2>&1 | tee gdb-xvidcap_debugbuild.txt'" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xvidcap/+bug/708332/+attachment/2149358/+files/gdb-xvidcap.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708332 Title: Xvidcap exits with "BadMatch" error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
