Video Captures are Blank / Green

[Hashpling]

When using the Video Capture in Vbox, nothing is recorded. There is only a "Green Screen".

Guest Additions are installed

libvpx is installed

This occurs with or without 3D Acceleration enabled.

Host: Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, Virtualbox 4.3.12 r93733 Guest: Lubuntu 14.04

These are the "Green" Video Captures

I am running saucy and since the last updat I have same exact issue. I can add logs but they would be the same

This also occurs in Fedora 20 w/GNOME Shell 3.10.4

This is also happen to me (in Fedora).

And when I try to play the video in Videos (former totem) I get the message:

An error occurred
Could not demultiplex stream.

Video Capture gives only a Green screen, and that's a pity.

Hopefully fixed with VBox 4.3.16.

Seeing a similar issue here, under openSuSE 13.1 x64 / VirtualBox 4.3.18 r96516.

Trying to capture an eComStation 2.1 guest, I get a small .webm file, which displays blank (green), yet lists the correct timecodes (Firefox 33.0).

System has:

Still happens with the new version 4.3.24 r98716 with VirtualBox Extension Pack installed, on the same system as my previous comment.

[BastardSysop]

Same issue, using latest opensuse version from virtualbox.org with extensions.

• Opensuse Tumbleweed
• Virtualbox 4.3.26_98988_openSUSE123-1
• Native Intel driver xorg-x11-driver-video 7.6_1-15.1

Had this same issue on Ubuntu 15.04 using native drivers and the oracle virtualbox with extensions.

[jgrocha]

Same here.

• Virtualbox 4.3.26 r98988
• Virtualbox 4.3.28 r100309
• Host: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
• Guest: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

Tested with both intel and nvidia drivers.

[robert spitzenpfeil]

The issue seems to be caused by a libvpx incompatibility, at least on openSUSE 13.1.
