Video On Demand for PlayOnLinux

[Administrator]

It's been a long time and I was thinking that PlayOnLinux had to have a native capture system, like the famous FRAPS for Windows. It's now done with Capture, a plugin which will allow you to record your exploits in your favorite game!!!

You can see the result HERE
Note: This video spoils the final boss of Portal (French version), if you want to keep the surprise, then don't watch it.

Here is how to proceed:

1-Once the plugin is installed and activated, just run it.

ointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/11/24/97/18/11_en10.png" border="0" alt="" />

2-Select the game you want to Capture and a personalized launcher will be added to your menu.

ointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/11/24/97/18/12_en10.png" border="0" alt="" />
ointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/11/24/97/18/13_en10.png" border="0" alt="" />

3-When you will use this launcher, the following message, indicating that the capture will start or will stop with +F8, will be prompted.

ointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/11/24/97/18/14_en10.png" border="0" alt="" />

Note: You MUST stop the capture before leaving the game else the capture's file will risk to be corrupted!!

4-Once your capture finished, you can either visualize it, or convert it to avi (Video x264 - Audio mp3), the capture and the converted video are stored in the POL_Capture folder, situated in your home directory.

5-To finish, if you want to, you can remove the special launcher

You will find this plugin HERE and in the website's download section, of course.

Have a good capture!
