This project contains code for a video capture utility capable of capturing presentations. It captures vga output and audio and mixes them together to produce a video thus enabling you to capture great presentations, demos, or training material easily.
Freeseer is implemented using the Python programming language, Qt framework, and GStreamer multimedia framework.
This software has been used to record great open source events including hundreds of talks at great conferences like OSGeo’s FOSS4G, FSOSS, BSDCan, PGCon and more.
Features:
- very easy to use gui interface – click to start, click to stop, simple form for managing title and speaker’s name
- based on open source software and open standards
- records full motion video or presentations from a vga device (laptop, desktop, others)
- records from Mac, Windows, Linux, what ever. Any content presented to the LCD projector is recorded.
- Very affordable, using off the shelf hardware
- forms a recording studio that fits into a backpack when running on a laptop
- elevated privilege (e.g. root) not required except for initial set up when doing hardware capture
- very fast set up and tear down – typically under 10 minutes.
Reasons you might use Freeseer:
- You need to record vga output from a laptop/desktop or some other device
- You want to record a demo to show or teach something
- You’d like to record a presentation and share it online through a video hosting service
- You’re organizing a conference and would like to record the videos
- You’d like to make a digital copy of video from camcorder/VCR, etc.
Example presentations:
We’ll post videos and screen captures of freeseer in action. In the meantime, please enjoy some finished product videos. These are also recorded with each successive generation of Freeseer thus if you watch bottom-up, you should notice the results get better and better.
