Record audio and video during a conversation

[sohil86]

Hi,
            I have referred bug # 330276 just for reference. I want to store Audio and Video files ( remote and local ) in any format ( encoded ) on my machine. I understand that I just need to put a fwrite() at some specific location. Later I want to multiplex the local audio and video in a single container file ( similar for remote video and audio as well ).
So where exactly is that fwrite needs to be implemented ?
Will there be any audio-video sync issues affecting here ? what can be the possible work around for it ?
I am using Ekiga 3.2.6 for linux.

Let me know if you need more details.

It would be nice to have this bug fixed.

The actual write/read are done in opal library.  I do not think (but i
am not sure) that you can do it by modifying only ekiga.  For your
questions you need to contact opalvoip-user
<opalvoip-user@...>.

I suppose the simplest thing is to add a video and audio output device
called for ex. WAVfile (I think it already exist, but does not work),
and if the user chooses it he can specify the file name.  The problem is
that you cannot choose two devices (to see *and* to save).  So maybe the
best is to add a checkbox to specify if you record the conversation.
It's up to you to make a proposition as to how it works, and if it is
good, go ahead and implement it.  In this case, it's better to use the
trunk, not the 3.2.x branch.

Hi,
            I know that changing only ekiga code wont solve my problem ( got to dig into opal as well ). I  didnt understand as to why can't I see and save ( remote and local ) simultaneously ? As of now, I'm thinking of storing the encoded remote stream ( audio and video ).

With video output device and audio output device, which exactly do you mean  ?

• ekiga-3.2.6/lib/engine/audiooutput and ekiga-3.2.6/lib/engine/videooutput?
• ekiga-3.2.6/lib/engine/components/opal/

I meant the devices shown in Preferences.
