Almost OK, only a wrong "if clause" in one of the notes (it should be "if the widgets are locked, you will not be able to..." instead of "if... you *are* not able..."). Please delete also the holder screencasts from blip.tv and keep only the most recent one.

Pinging fengshaun: are you able to put the screencast on blip.tv? Or should I do it for you?

OK I finished the subtitled version, now the only problem is how to get subtitles "hard-coded" in to video?
Or should I upload video and subtitles separately?

Blip.tv does not offer such a thing, unfortunately. I'm not too expert on how to embed subtitles (short of re-encoding the file). EDIT: I may have found something. Primoz, please send me the video and the subtitles separately and I'll make some tests.

You can do it with mencoder, for example http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mencoder-users/2007-June/006170.html

I just found what can do the trick:

Code: Select all
mencoder  -noskip -ovc lavc -o output.ogm -sub name_of_subtitle_file -subfont-text-scale 3  input.ogv
[hr]
As for TeaAge: your screencast is OK now. Of course, should you have time for an additional note-less version (to be used with subtitles as Primoz is trying to do) it would be also great.

OK I managed to make an subtitled version But the line:
As you can see this desktop is more or less the default desktop of KDE4.2.

Just blinks and is therefore missing.
But every thing else seems OK. I watched just to the point when I start doing things, from there on everything should be fine.
I had a bit of speed problem, so I had to put these after I change to Folder view:
This option extends the folder view widget so that it
envelops the whole desktop.
It disables the adding of new widgets,
but keeps the existing widgets.
So be careful when activating it.

And the subtitles are strangely big.
If I'll have too much time I'll play with it.
But no promises, as I didn't use the new years holiday to make all the obligatory seminars for courses that I took (one of the thing I hate about bologna reform /those that are students in EU will probably know what I'm talking about)[hr]

I used it in a bit of a different order and without -noskip whatever that is ;-)
Code: Select all
mencoder desktop-settings-sub.ogv -oac copy -ovc lavc -sub desktop_settings.sub -o  desktop-setings-sub2.ogg

You can use subfont-text-scale to alter the size of the subtitle fonts, I believe. In any case, I'm downloading now. If it's good enough, upload that to blip.tv as well and let's roll, we can always update it later.
I admit the subtitles are huge, if you can just make a pass with that option and see if it improves (don't upload, just check it yourself). If it does, upload that version.

Some more considerations:

- fengshaun, if you are alive ping this thread, otherwise I'll post your screencast to blip.tv myself next Sunday;
- Primoz, if you don't have time to fix the subtitles, send me the ogv + the .sub and I'll see if I can do that for you.

Oh I'm really really sorry! I've been super busy with school with all sorts of projects these teachers dump on us (I'm actually in school right now supposed to be working). I have posted the screencast on blip.tv right after I finished it, I just forgot to post the link, sorry! a search for kde4.2 will bring it up and here is the link: http://blip.tv/file/1640432/

today afternoon I hopefully will have some time to write the script for subtitles (for sure I'm free tomorrow at worst). I will try to stick the subtitles in the video too by following the other thread (How to use subtitle composer).

I'm sorry again! =(

Not a problem, just making sure you were still alive. 8P

All right people. TeaAge, see if you can make a subtitled version. Later tonight (when Kontact finishes rebuilding my IMAP folders) I will post the links to the KDE-Promo ML.
Oh, and please spread the word about these screencasts! Blogs, messages. etc....

I am sorry but I don't think that i can do this. :( I have a NVidia card and sometihng is just horribly wrong. All I get is fucia line on the screencast. i have tried for days and I have no idea qht to do to fix it. It happened when I got the new upgrades from kubuntu-experimental something went wrong.
