  • Using VLC to record

    From Davey@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 21 16:24:25 2023
    I am trying to use VLC to record a session on my desktop. I have
    followed the instructions, but I can't get the Record button to work.
    It's there, I enabled it using the Media/Advanced Controls, but it
    remains greyed out whatever I try, and certainly doesn't work.
    My system is Ubuntu 18.04LTS, Ver. 3.0.8 Ventinari. 3.0.8 is the
    current version as listed by Synaptic.
    Any help as to what I am missing much appreciated.

    Try to run it in the terminal and show if error occur.

    Thanks. I have moved on to Kazam, which does what I need. I find VLC is
    good for cutting short what Kazam produces, though.
    I will try the terminal method when I have some time available!
    Cheers,
