Confirmed on Hardy Heron final. Changing visual effects has no effect for me, neither does turning off sound. However, if I run istanbul from a terminal window as root (sudo istanbul) it does finish writing the file, but the result is choppy and horrible quality.
I noticed the first bug report was in 2006 ! Is there ANY work underway on this ? I am having the same problem as oskar; since upgrade to Heron I can't use istanbul, xvidcap or recordmydesktop. Please don't make me use Windows for my project. -- Istanbul starts but hang up when try to stop recording https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
