Re: Record Desktop with Sound?? (SOlved!!! Hurray)

I used this

ffmpeg -r 30 -s 1366x768 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -qscale 2 filename.avi

But i dont get any sound recording it...:/

Is there a command like the one I use that comes with sound?? Thanks
So what should i do totally lost.

Thanks

P.D.

Plz if u know of any tool that works good for u while recording plz say so...Thanks

Hi, I know this is an old question. If you have ever searched on the internet, you would find that Audacity is good for recording desktop with sound.
Also, on the internet source, a tool is published for us to record audio from desktop. Perhaps you could try both of the them.

Your link to the software is for a package that only works on Windows

I really like Audacity and use it a lot, and I am pretty sure that it cannot create a video & audio of the screen. The screen tools create PNG images of Audacity and its output products, not a sound movie of the screen.

Since this is a Kubuntu forums, it should be mentioned that there is the package kx11grab:
sudo apt-get install kx11grab

This is the KDE version of QtX11grab, a GUI systray frontend for passing the parameters to FFMPEG/x11grab (as discussed in this thread). It's a work in progress, though...

Also see the Ubuntu forums thread:

Lastly, the (K)Ubuntuguide summary of screencapture is at:

In brief, the command I like is:

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 192k -i pulse -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | awk '/geometry/ {print $2}') -r 30 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /home/user/capturedvideo.avi

which uses PulseAudio as the sound input.
