Just one quick observation on the filenaming system. If you are not paying attention on the automatic scheme it is easy to get Orrechiette to overwrite your last recording (by forgetting to use for example the increasing number string), by only using for example date and phone number. There might be some word of warning for the possibility of overwriting or maybe automatically appended number string in case of overwriting? Just an idea, nothing critical. So far the Orrechiette just rocks.

I recently put Orecchiette to good use. I tried to make a backup of my main N900 with backupmenu, but it failed. So before flashing, I figured the best way to document the state of the system would be to make a full walkthrough of the phone and capture it in video.
Tell you what, Orecchiette performed great, and it was a pleasure to use.
The only enhancement I would add would probably be to replace the recording mode selection with three independent checkboxes (microphone, speaker, and screen). This would simplify the interface, and it would be more flexible (for example, I only needed to capture video for my use case).
Thanks for this great program, Copernicus!

The N900 is such a versatile tool that I feel I could learn a lot from another users case and way of working.
Great software indeed! Thank you.

).But what it is, basically, is me going through the phone menus, applications, contacts, etc. I just had to scroll slowly because the CPU was pegged at 100% most of the time, and if you scroll at normal speed that tends to tax the CPU farther, causing gaps in the captured frames.
Of course, this N900 is stock 600Mhz, so with an overclocked N900 things would run even smoother. And if I had been able to just select video capture and not audio, the video should have been less than half the size, according to Copernicus' comments about the audio stream taking more space than the video stream itself. Hence my suggestion to make the settings three completely independent checkboxes.
This is an awesome program that saved me a lot of manual work.
EDIT: I forgot to agree with your comment about the N900 being a flexible and powerful tool. You are absolutely right. The N900 is like a huge Lego set that allows you to do so many different things. And it's just fun doing it!

As it stands it seems you need to strip out the audio track on a PC?
Or as Copernicus suggested, use a command to record video w/o audio:
Code:
gst-launch-1.0 -v ximagesrc ! video/x-raw-rgb,framerate=5/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! dspmp4venc ! queue ! matroskamux ! filesink location=pathAndNameOfFile.mkv
Tried to change recording medium from internal to SD card but the error remains.

@Copernicus
I can't say why... but during the last months recaller has become even more unreliable than before (seems impossible, but it happens)
Now if enabled freezes the device during most of calls.
The only solution i have found is to disable it completely. ...and ping you about orecchiette
Do you have any progress or plan to manage automatic call recording inside orecchiette enabling it from the status menu (or from the settings panel)?
It would be great if the naming schema had also the possibility to add the phone number to these recordings.

I have been wanting to rework the Orecchiette UI for a while now, but just haven't had the time.

They work regardless of the location (meaning, you can move the recording to a folder tracker does not monitor, or even to your PC or another device, and you will still know immediately all the important data about it). Last but not least, not all audio formats have the tagging capability.
Even better would be to add all the meta-data (phone number, time of day, possibly caller info) directly into the audio file itself; I studied up on this a bit last year, but never quite finished the work. Hopefully, I can get back to it once I make more progress on my current project...
I vote for file names. But whatever method you choose, Orecchiette will still need to have the capability to provide the info.

In Preferences, the folder is not set after installing, which causes the recording to quietly fail. Similarly, if a folder has been selected, deleting it (the preference, not necessarily the folder itself) will also cause a failed recording. I suggest asking the user to select a folder if it's not set when the program starts.
