xvidcap: xtoffmpeg.c guess_input_pix_fmt(): image depth 32 not supported ... aborting

[Dominique Pellé]

Binary package hint: xvidcap

I'm trying to use xvidcap tool but it crashes all the time with the following error:

xtoffmpeg.c guess_input_pix_fmt(): image depth 32 not supported ... aborting

Steps to reproduce:

1/ start xvidcap from shell: xvidcap
  The GUI pops up.

2/ Click on the button "Select Rectangular Area to Capture" button (that's the second button from the right)

3/ Click on a terminal window to capture its content with xvidcap

4/ observe the error message:

xtoffmpeg.c guess_input_pix_fmt(): image depth 32 not supported ... aborting

... and xvidcap exits immediately.

This is with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10, latest updates)

I get this exact same error.

I'm running Kubuntu 8.10 64-bit, fglrx with an HD3870X2 video card.

Perhaps noteworthy, I have everything in amdcccle turned all the way up (dunno if xvidcap uses OpenGL or not, or even if it did if that's relevant info...)

Cheers, and thanks for your time,
DHG

PS: If you need more information, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to get back to you ASAP.

I can still reproduce this bug in Ubuntu-9.10 (Karmic Koala)

This bug is still present in Ubuntu-10.04

It is also present in Ubuntu-11.10.

It sounds like no one tried to use the program before making it available to the public: I'm using default display settings and a default xvidcap conf and it doesn't work...
