Hi,

I have a similar issue. I record one channel of audio, h264 and 15fps (also does the same with webM). Everything runs smoothly at the beginning, but at some point it goes slow and the swap file jumps to a couple of gig.

This usually happens after about 10 minutes of recording - at least it's long enough to get some decent screencasts in.

It was happening a lot sooner, but I turned off Cairo Dock as that also runs on Gstreamer(?) - anyway, that greatly improved the situation.

Is there an alternative to Gstreamer? My understanding is that the alternative ffmpeg causes bad video formats?? I can say that when the MP4 is exported and edited, it's great qualoty and very stable.

Thanks, Joe
