SimpleScreenRecorder

[GreyGeek]

I noticed this afternoon that Xenial didn't have a screen recorder of any kind in its repository, so I went looking around and found SimpleScreenRecorder by Maarten Baert. He's released a Xenial version!

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder
# if you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system:
sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386

64b version installed without errors. Have yet to run it, but on 14.04 it worked great!

Edit: It works very nicely! Even on my mediocre machine I recorded at 30 fps. I recorded 15 minutes of Minecraft with glorious sound. I used winff to convert the saved stream to mp4. Nice! It takes about 1 minute per mg to convert at capture size. Longer if you make your mp4 larger than the original.

I use SSR all the time, you can even use 2 instances https://youtu.be/VyXEBCp694I

I recorded this with byzanz-record, which will output directly to animated gif, It's a command-line tool and reading the man page (https://linux.die.net/man/1/byzanz-record) is highly recommended, but it works.

That was a very very informative video! Thanks for the link!

When I first saw that in a previous post of yours I assumed it was an animated gif, but I wondered how you made it. Thanks for letting us know!

Nice ,,, like that byzanz-record



took some playing to get the x,y,w,h, rite ,,,,,,,, 4 tries but I used this to get x&y

vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ while true; do clear; xdotool getmouselocation; sleep 0.1; done

prints off the x,y, of the cursor in real time as you move it .

Nice CLI command, VINNY!
Nice looking Conky display, too. Say, you are showing very light loads on your cores, but your temp is 57C !!!! Are your fans working well enough?

Great idea; I just used the x and y coordinates from my conky config
