Eidete only produces 300 byte files that are corrupted

I committed taboo by confirming my own bug, but there were multiple duplicates, so deal with it.

and the developers told me its the fault of my intel hd graphics driver...

But I'm using a Nvidia GPU...

I have the same problem. EIDtE creates a 300 bytes file. And it has worked before, but it does not work now on same hardware.

Btw I can view webm files just fine in the default video player. No problem.

I'm using an AMD GPU here. Doesn't work too. After recording, Eidete outputs "could not contact Contractor.Click the Save button to save the file" and the 300 byte file is produced.

I confirm this bug on my system too. Using NVIDIA GPU, proprietary drivers

In my system too. I use a laptop with Nvidia Optimus and the bug happen in both cards.

Out of curiousity, what kernel version are you all running.

uname -r says 3.2.0-49-generic

I can as well reproduce this problem on kernel 3.3.6-030306-generic. My laptop has two GPUs of which I only use Intel integrated one.

This has been happening for a while now. Kernel version 3.5.0-22-generic and Intel Ironlake graphics.

From https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ijsc57vYEHBZxVdM0fRgCuBX2NbdRDv1kuOj0OG75v4/edit# :

"Eidete uses ContractorView widget from Granite, needs to be updated due to API break".

I guess Cameron found the problem, any hope for a fix?

I have a GT220 using driver 309, I'm gonna update to 319 and report back.

Well that went horribly, just had to purge nvidia* and reinstall my driver.

Still no luck with Eidete though.

How the window looks on a normal Elementary LUNA install

Any idea why Kazam Screencaster does the same thing? When you save as webm it does it, but saving as h264 doesn't.
