Re: Celestia 1.6.1 on Linux has no codec options

Thanks again - all seems to be working well now.

A quick question - now that I've built it, do I need to keep the files from the "build" directory (other than the celestia executable itself of course)?

Thank You JVV!

I just got Celestia-SPICE installed on my Leap 42.2 system! As well as SPICE, I had to install qmake from the Build Service, but after that, compilation and installation of Celestia went without a hitch. Everything is so much crisper and snappier, even though I was devoting about 80% of RAM to Virtu...

Re: Celestia 1.6.1 on Linux has no codec options

I've been using Lagarith which came bundled in a codec pack. I did a bit of research, and, according to one technical review, it was the only one of those tested that was genuinely lossless. Filesize has not been a problem yet, and if necessary, I can stitch videos together with Avidemux. I think I'...

Re: Celestia 1.6.1 on Linux has no codec options

Sorry, I should have stated video codecs. I need a lossless video codec to avoid artefacts after adding foreground with Blender. Thanks, I'll have a go at compiling your source. I'd certainly prefer a modern qt version than KDE3! Any recommendations re: compiling? I have a feeling I tried compiling ...

Celestia 1.6.1 on Linux has no codec options

I just managed to get Celestia installed in OpenSuse - I have previously, been using the Windows version in a VirtualBox. However, when I went to record a video, there were no codec or container options - only Theora in an .ogg container. I'm using Celestia to make backgrounds for a video, so I real...

Video Capture of CELX script Not Syncing

Greetings fellow Celestia lovers. Background (skip if you like): I am a noob when it comes to Celestia scripting, but I'm reasonably familiar with Celestia, and very conversant with other scripting languages - especially javascript, so the syntax and OOP side of things are not a problem for me. Gett...
