DetailsDescription:
Previous to libtheora 1.1.x, launching recordmydesktop via 'recordmydesktop -o file.ogv' would result (when played back), a video playing at a solid framerate (15fps by default). Now since thusnelda has released, recordmydesktop must be launched with the flag '-v_bitrate 2000000' to achieve playable video... otherwise it produces a video that appears to progress at one frame every few seconds. Additional Info: There appears to be a corresponding bug report here on the recordmydesktop bug tracker, here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2917968&group_id=172357&atid=861428 As far as I know, recordmydesktop is out of active development, and in buxfix-only mode.. so if someone could solve the issue and submit a patch upstream, perhaps it would be accepted. There is also speculation that this issue may be caused by Xorg 1.6.x -> 1.7.x.. but I'm unsure how to determine whether or not that is the case. The workaround to this bug leads me to believe it is an API/ABI change in libtheora. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install community/recordmydesktop 2. record a video with 'recordmydesktop -o file.ogv' 3. Play file.ogv with the media player of your choice. 4. Compare resulting file against one recorded with 'recordmydesktop -v_bitrate 2000000 -o file.ogv' |

Reason for closing: Upstream
Additional comments about closing: The issue with the source not building has been patched. The issue with recordmydesktop now requiring the -v_bitrate argument is well known with the most recent libtheora update. If you require a way to make this work with one of the GUI clients, please check the thread at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ showthread.php?p=3749812#post3749812

Also: the pkgbuild no longer builds due to the references in recordmydesktop's code to '/usr/include/X11/extensions/shmstr.h'. Which, for the reference, has been renamed to shmproto.h. Additionally, the pkgbuild has no || return statements, so it still appears to successfully build the package.
