Celestia Forums

Hi all,

I have been trying to create a movie using Celestia for some space special effects, which is going well. However I do have one slight problem. When I go to capture movie, I get the save dialogue box open up but I am unable to select what the output file is encoded into.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid Lynx and the only option I get is OGG. It is fine if I watch the file back on the machine however I am unable to load the footage into any Video editor I have installed on that machine.

I was hoping that someone maybe able to tell me how to change the encoder.

Cheers

Avi theora is the only encoder Celestia has.

An option would be to transcode it afterwards to another format.
Or using a screenrecorder that encodes with many formats.

What video editor do you have installed?

If they use Gstreamer, you can add an avi ogg decoder to your Gstreamer codecs.
