How can i record the screen in IRIX? - RetroGamer1985 - 04-25-2019
Hi, I wanted to ask:
how can I record the screen in IRIX?
Because I've seen some video on YouTube and Vimeo that shows IRIX screens recorded and I would like to know what is the process of recording the screens, I do not know if you have to use a program on IRIX or you have to access remotely from windows and record with the Camtasia program for example, if anyone knows you can tell me please.

IMO a video capture device are used to achieve it.

You can actually use the MediaRecord tool found on Find->MediaTools in the Toolchest. Works quite nice for 2D stuff on my Octane, I have no idea how it performs with 3D.

option 1 - use mediarecorder/dmrecord. This is not gonna be what your looking for - it's limited, failure-prone and it won't record fullscreen (please prove me wrong someone)
option 2 - use a camera on tripod. This can work very well, but quality won't be better than option 3
option 3 - use a capture card on a PC (such as https://www.startech.com/AV/Converters/Video/HD-PCIe-capture-card-HDMI-VGA-DVI-CPNT-1080p~PEXHDCAP2 or maybe this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FK4RYZW/ for example). This is the way to go and what is being used. With a DVI connector (Octane/Tezro/Fuel) it's trivial to split the video signal and record it on the PC as your actually using the workstation. You can also get converters from VGA/13W3 to DVI/HDMI
edit: the real question is how did Dodiod setup that remote IRIX desktop? hehe.
