[Grzegorz Galezowski]

Binary package hint: recordmydesktop

When I choose to record full screen screencast (or almost full screen), recordmydesktop produces files that cannot be opened with Totem (or any other player as far as I know).

Here's my console session woth recordmydesktop

I'm using Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller card.

The bug occured also in feisty, but there i could nullify it by installing xserver-xorg-video-intel package. Now it's installed by default, but the bug occurs.

I'm attaching one example screencast ogg that doesn't open. If someone manages to play it, please tell me how can I do it.

Hi Grzegorz
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Basilio,

This is not an issue for me anymore, so you can mark it as fixed. Sorry for late reply, but I have been abroad for 2,5 weeks.

Hi Grzegorz
Thanks for your time and feedback, I'm closing this report due your last comment, unfortunately since there's no reference to this issue in the package changelog i can't identify where the issue was solved, anyway, thanks again for taking the time to report this bug and help to make Ubuntu better, please feel free to report any future bugs you might find.
