As you perhaps know, there exists a very interesting project on Google code, with which you can visualize the activities on your repository: Gource<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/strong><\/p>\n

It supports Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and SVN. There is also a way to visualize the changes in a repository of a Microsoft Team Foundation server: GourceTFS<\/a>.
Luckily, in one of my current projects I use Subversion as repository. So it is very easy to visualize the log. Just go in the command line to the root directory of your local subversion-project and type:<\/p>\n

\n
gource<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now, a new window pops up and the \u201cmovie\u201d begins. When you just want to have it as a loop in full screen mode, then type:<\/p>\n
\n
gource -f --loop <\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
This tool is just amazing and also very geeky ;-). Now you can see what a big bang integration<\/a> means.<\/p>\n

I tried two ways. The first was with the tool Fraps<\/a>, which is easy to use, but it isn\u2019t for free. So I tried the second way with the ffmpeg<\/a> tool. This worked well for me. First you have to create a ppm-file from gource. This file is the input for the ffmpeg tool. To create a ppm file I used this command:<\/p>\n
\n
gource -1280x720 --seconds-per-day 0.5 -o ppm.out<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Then I used the following command to create the video:<\/p>\n
\n
\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\ffmpeg\\\\bin\\\\ffmpeg\" -y -b 3000K -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i ppm.out -vcodec libx264 -fpre \"C:\\Program Files\\ffmpeg\\share\\ffmpeg\\\\libx264-slow.ffpreset\" -threads 0 dokudb.x264.avi<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
