Bug Description
Binary package hint: gtk-recordmydesktop
For some reason, RMD in karmic doesn't record properly. Even if I set it to record at 30 fps (and I have a quadcore processor, it's clearly not the bottleneck), it seems to record at 0.5 or 1 frame per second. Completely useless, sadly.
This used to work in jaunty. Using compiz or not doesn't seem to make a difference.
It also happens on lucid with version 0.3.8-0ubuntu2.

Description of problem:
There are some problems with theora in current Rawhide. I don't know if it is application problems or codec problems, but I hope you can decide. All I know is that everything worked ok in Fedora 11.
I have tried to record my desktop using gtk-recordmydesktop and the output file is totally broken. It was set to 15fps, but both in totem and mplayer it plays like 0.25fps (1 frame in 4 seconds). Vlc can't even play it.
When recording using istanbul, it plays correctly in all players, but video quality is unbelievably poor.
I believe all the records/players have not broken out of the blue at once, so there must be some problem in the codec itself.
I attach the two recordings for examination. In both I should be opening system and context menus and moving the cursor over the items fluently.
