I could see absolutely no sign of my posted reply to you, Andy, either on
the website or in my email client, and only now realise that I must have sent
it to your personal email address by mistake, as I see you've quoted from it ...
I'm afraid I'm only just getting used to Mutt, so please forgive me ^^
I can't thank you enough, Andy, for giving me the confidence to continue!
As you see below, I have now installed both libavcodec1 and ffmpeg:

I just rechecked xvidcap/gvidcap to be on the safe side:

I couldn't see either gvidcap or ffmpeg in any of the menu items under the
graphical K-Start button, so I tried running xvidcap from the command line:
jerry:~# logout
frances@jerry:~$ xvidcap
bash: xvidcap: command not found
frances@jerry:~$ gvidcap
Segmentation fault
frances@jerry:~$ gvidcap &
[1] 1693
frances@jerry:~$
[1]+ Segmentation fault gvidcap
frances@jerry:~$
I was overjoyed when gvidcap launched :-) looking just like the two
instructional videos from the xvidcap home site.
But then it faulted :-( as soon as I clicked the red record button.
Noting the "g" in gvidcap, I logged out of KDE and into Gnome, but
with the same result:
frances@jerry:~$ gvidcap &
[1] 1929
frances@jerry:~$
[1]+ Segmentation fault gvidcap
frances@jerry:~$
I have never had a segmentation fault before, and as a newbie ;) I
haven't a clue what to do. Even after googling took me to:
http://cs-www.bu.edu/help/unix/segmentation_fault.html
Please could I ask for assistance again?
