Reduce screencast playback speed?

[Jeremy Florman]

Hi,

I am trying to make a screencast using the "file -> make screencast" function but when I play the video using the VLC media player the playback speed is greatly increased even when the playback speed setting is at its slowest. Is there a way to either record or playback a screencast at closer to real-time?

Thanks,

Maybe you need to reduce the recorded speed?

If you hold down the Shift key before clicking on the File menu and then
select Make Screencast, it will open the Beanshell script behind that menu
item in the Script Editor.

Ctrl+G should open the "Go to line" dialog and in line 82 you should find
the setting "fps=15". I would try with "fps=5" at first, hoping that would
fix the issue.

If it does, I will change the script so it lets you configure the frame
rate.

Ciao,
Johannes
