Dai,
What version of rmd are you using? I have only made one screencast on
Ubuntu Hardy at 912x684. I'm using the stock rmd that is in the repos.
I think it's a few point releases behind the current release but it
seems pretty stable.

Yep same here stock hardy version of rmd records an empty desktop ok,
open an app and it hangs when rendering the recording.
tried all afternoon to do a rough and ready video editing movie using
cinerella.

never used the terminal don't know how (boo hiss) not sure if it's
realplayer interfering (peeing in the dark here) or one of the latest
updates.
I'm going to try it with out realplayer just to see. I don't think
realplayer has anything to do with it but it's the only change since
the updates this morning.

Yepp. Looks like you've got yerself a broken pipe there Mack. That's obviously no good.
;)
Like I would even have a clue. Pfft. :)
Actually, when I first started screencasting I think I had similar problems with anything over 800x600, but I think back then it was more of a video RAM issue (or lack thereof).

still happening with some programs at 800x600 using my usual method.
I've re-installed rmd half a dozen times but no joy
and having no luck getting the newer version to install either

Well, there's your problem Dai. If you pee in the dark then you most
likely peed all over your computer and shorted something out. Is your
keyboard sticky? Probably all that black tar lager that you're
drinking. Stop doing that. :)
To run rmd in the terminal just type: recordmydesktop and hit enter.
Ctrl+c to stop recording. Or take a look at the rmd screencast that I
made for ShowMeDo awhile back. There is a part in there on using the
terminal. I run this command and then touch the application titlebar
of the app that I want to screencast (USB microphone = -device hw:
1,0):
recordmydesktop -windowid $( xwininfo -frame | awk '/Window id:/
{print $4}' ) -fps 15 -device hw:1,0
Sometimes I get odd behavior with using the gui. When this happens
I'll use the terminal. I think the terminal is a lighter way to record
but I could be wrong about that. It makes me feel good using it
anyway. ;)
You could always contact the author of rmd as well. You could even
compile a the newest one too. I have done this many times and the
process is easy (I'm sure you already know that.)

could you do me a favour and test your recordmydesktop in Ubuntu Hardy
on a resource heavy app at full screen to see if it hangs.
I've just done a complete new install of Ubuntu and I'm still getting
the broken pipe error message. so it seems to be an Ubuntu problem (I
think).

dai,
Sure. I recorded myself using Kdenlive for about 2 min 30 sec while a
video was playing in the preview window. That's about as resourse
heavy as you can get. Rmd did not have any hang ups. Iused the GTK
version too.

Hmm. That's a tough bugger. I don't know what else to add but in case
you cannot get rmd working at all in the future then I would suggest
an 'apt-get install xvidcap'. xvidcap is a pretty decent desktop
recorder too. Perhaps that one will work for you.
I think if I were in your shoes I would backup and format my system
before I gave up on rmd. Of course that's if everything else has
failed. Upon a fresh install I would install rmd first and see if it
works before anything else.
Sorry dai,

sorting out virtualbox with pclos. I'll try rmd in that just to test
it out. it should work ok and if I get the printer to work then I'll
re-format to pclos. other than that xvidcap should be ok will try it
later. I've got popey's stuff on setting it up so should be a dodle to
it up and runnig wityh xvidcap.

this is is exactly what I did. rmd is worse now than before.

Ah well back to the drawing board thanks for the help.
