Chronolapse has failed me :(

[raw] LD18LD #18 - Enemies as Weapons - 2010 20. Aug 2010 · 20:35 UTC · 20 hours after compo start by Ricket · 0

I have my monitors configured so that my second monitor is to the upper left of my primary monitor. But when it takes screenshots in dual monitor mode, it acts as if the second monitor is on the right, so I just get a screenshot of my screen plus an extra 1600×1200 black area to the right.

Is there any solution or do I need to move my monitor to the right side?

Wish I would’ve tried this a week ago.

Or alternatively, is there a better timelapse capture program that can handle this situation?

I haven’t tried it yet myself. But start an instance of chronolapse on each monitor? Dunno if that would really work as it sounds.

Well, I gave up and decided to write my own. So I now have my own automatic screenshotter that I just wrote in C#. It takes separate screenshots of the first and second screens and timestamps them and saves them to a designated folder. It’s not too shabby for about an hour of work! :)

Did you try with CamStudio?

It’s a plain screen recorder, with a good own-lossless codec and flv exporter.

The only ‘issue’ is that it doesn’t resize the screen, so your videos sizes bigger:

-90Mb for 6hours, taking 1 frame each 30secs.
