[PyGame] saving output to a video file

[Zhaleh]

Hi everybody. I've just created a simple moving object and now I need to save it as a video file. Can anybody tell me how can I save the output and which format I should choose? Also if you also introduce a source to learn it, it would be great. I also put my code here to make a sense of what it's like.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

import pygame pygame.init() screen=pygame.display.set_mode((1000,1000))   pygame.display.set_caption('visual rhythm') icon=pygame.image.load("song.png") pygame.display.set_icon(icon)   playerImg=pygame.image.load('spaceship.png') playerX=370 playerY=400 def player(x,y):     screen.blit(playerImg,(int(x),int(y)))   speed=[4000, -2000 , 2000 , -1000 , 1333 , -4000] count=0 count2=0 clock=pygame.time.Clock() while count2<len(speed):     screen.fill((0,255,0))     milli=clock.tick()     seconds=milli/1000.0     dm=seconds*speed[count]     playerY+=dm     player(playerX,playerY)     pygame.display.update()     if playerY>=946 or playerY<1:         count+=1         count2+=1

You mean you want to screencast your game? I always use ffmpeg to screencast.

like this would screencast the entire screen based on various settings

1	ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i plughw:0,0 -f x11grab -r 100 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 5 myvideo.mkv

or cut it in a section of the game window

1	ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 128k -i pulse -f x11grab -s 800x600 -r 30 -i :0.0+10,20 -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag xvid game_video.avi
