Free disk recorder software for linux

KRecord is a KDE sound recorder. Easy to use. It can just record and playback wav-files, nothing else.

Can handle multiple files, you can drop files (from the file manager) to it, it can handle large sound files without problems. Has a input level display.

KRecord is much easier to use than "krec", which is an enigma in itself.

Compiles and Installs perfectly on Slackware 10.1 with KDE 3.4.1 and qt 3.3.4.

Just Click Record button and you can record...

FDMS-3 Ripper is a Perl program for extracting the tracks from the FDMS-3 filesystem. I recently bought a Fostex FD-8 multitrack hard disk recorder for recording music. It works great, but I was disappointed to discover that, although it uses a standard external SCSI hard disk, there was no way to "rip" the recorded tracks from the hard drive to my PC over the SCSI port. The alternatives were to use the analog-out to re-record each track using my soundcard (resulting in loss of quality and loss of synch between tracks), or buying a $500 ADAT card for my PC.

I decided that I would try to figure out a way to rip the music directly over the SCSI port. The FD-8 uses a proprietary Fostex filesystem, FDMS-3. I decided to hook it up to my PC and probed the drive. I was able to figure out the basic layout of the filesystem pretty quickly. Note: this is designed to hard disks formatted in the FDMS-3 "Mastering" mode, which stores the audio data in uncompressed format.

In order to use the program, you will need to take the hard disk that has the FDMS-3 filesystem on it and hook it up to your PC (mine is a SCSI drive -- dont know if this will work with one of the internal IDE drives you can hook up to the FD-8). Make sure that Linux can see the drive (dont try to mount it, though!). You might want to have a look at SCSI-2.4-HOWTO to get the drive recognized. My external hard disk is located at "/dev/sda", but yours could end up elsewhere.

Next, you need to make sure you have the following on your system: perl, sox and fileutils (for the "dd" utility). Security Warning Unfortunately, this program presents significant security issues, so be careful with it. The script needs to be able to access the hard disk directly, so you can either run it as root (not safe), or change the permissons for the hard disk device (in my case, "/dev/sda"). Run the program with "./fdms3rip /dev/sda" (substituting the actual location of your hard disk).

This will list all of the programs present on the hard disk. Then, run it again with the number of the program you want to fetch off the hard disk: "./fdms3rip /dev/sda 5" to get all of the recorded tracks for program number 5. After waiting a bit, you should now have a bunch of WAV files on your Linux machine. Warning This program will create and erase files with the names "dir" and "header" in the directory it is run from. It would be best to run this program from a clean directory, just to make sure there are no problems.

gtk-recordMyDesktop is a GUI frontend for recordMyDesktop desktop capture application to be used on the GNOME desktop.

recordMyDesktop is a desktop session recorder for linux that attemps to be easy to use, yet also effective at its primary task. As such, the program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way.

The commandline tool (which essentially is recordMyDesktop), is written in C, while the frontend (gtk-recordMyDesktop), is written in python and pyGtk.

recordMyDesktop offers also the ability to record audio, along with video, without the need of any later proccesing or mixing.

Elisa Media Center project was designed to create an open source cross platform media center solution. While our primary development and deployment platform is GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems we also currently support Microsoft Windows and also hope to support MacOSX in the future.

Elisa runs on top of the GStreamer multimedia framework. In addition to personal video recorder functionality (PVR) and Music Jukebox support, Elisa will also interoperate with devices following the DLNA standard like Intels ViiV systems.

HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder is Perl module for mixin to record HTTP::Server::Simples sockets.

SYNOPSIS

package MyServer;
use base qw/HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI/;

sub recorder_prefix { "path/to/logs/record" } # defaults to /tmp/http-server-simple-recorder

# logs to path/to/logs/record.34244.1.in,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.1.out,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.2.in,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.2.out, etc, if 34244 is the PID of the server

This module allows you to record all HTTP communication between an HTTP::Server::Simple-derived server and its clients. It is a mixin, so it doesnt itself subclass HTTP::Server::Simple; you need to subclass from both HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder and an actual HTTP::Server::Simple subclass, and HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder should be listed first.

Every time a client connects to your server, this module will open a pair of files and log the communication between the file and server to these files. Each connection gets a serial number starting at 1. The filename used is >, then a period, then the connection serial number, then a period, then either "in" or "out". recorder_prefix defaults to /tmp/http-server-simple-recorder, but you can override that in your subclass. For example, you might want to include the process ID.
