screencast: how to create a new ticket on trac

[Minh Nguyen]

I have made a screencast tutorial on creating a new ticket on trac.
See my blog post on wordpress.com [1]. This video tutorial was
inspired by the "Tech Tip Videos" of Linux Journal [2]. The idea is
that, when things are easier to show by a screencast, then show it
using a screencast instead of using a textual tutorial.

What software did you use to do this?

The Windows Media Player on my Eee PC doesn't recognize the format.
What software must one use to see it?

I also can't play it on a Mac. The .ogv format requires certain
viewers. Minh, any chance for other file formats, or are open ones
the only possibility?

Media Player should be happy with ogg if you install the codec from here:

The screencast software is called recordMyDesktop [1]. It should be
available in the Ubuntu and Debian package repositories. The graphical
interface to recordMyDesktop is much easier to use than the command
line interface. I used the GUI gtk-recordMyDesktop under Debian 5.

Can you try using VLC [1]? I don't have an Eee PC running Windows, so
I can't test anything.

recordMyDesktop only uses open file formats. To play .ogg and .ogv
files, you could use a Mac OS X dmg for VLC. Check out the VLC
homepage.

You can get the components for OS X to support .ogg and .ogv. I'm not
sure if they're included in Perian (which is highly recommended for OS
X users).

VLC will definitely work, though.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hi, more "technical" than about the content: I tested the html5
<video> tag. It works in chrome, think it also works in firefox 3.5+
(but not tested), maybe not safari since they do not support theora(?)
Feel free to rip off the html5 code ;)
