Confirmed on Hardy Heron final. Changing visual effects has no effect for me, neither does turning off sound. However, if I run istanbul from a terminal window as root (sudo istanbul) it does finish writing the file, but the result is choppy and horrible quality.

I noticed the first bug report was in 2006 ! Is there ANY work underway on this ? I am having the same problem as oskar; since upgrade to Heron I can't use istanbul, xvidcap or recordmydesktop. Please don't make me use Windows for my project.
