From the man ffmpeg page these are the enties that go with the -s option to set your screen size. Use the abbreviation, not the actual numbers.
-s size Set frame size. The format is wxh (avserver default = 160x128,

I'm sorry guys but ...same result. Even changing the resolution and recording it without sound didn't resolve the problem. As of the drivers I downloaded them from AMD Ati's official webpage. I don't know what this could be :/

I don't want you to feel you have been abandoned on this but I have no more input at this time. However I will keep playing with this as time allows and maybe I will discover something.

Ok. I really want to record so bad. I am trying also, enabling and disabling options , changing configurations , but IDK what it could be :/ Since this also happened on Ubuntu , Oh and I recently installed Linux Mint (yesterday night) 14 And it didn't work either there.
Now I'm trying doing a dist upgrade ,from 12.04 to 12.10 But I bet it has nothing to do with it. u.u

It's just so weird !!! I don't see why it shouldn't work!

I feel really comfortable at Kubuntu Idk why, maybe its KDE, I didn't really feel like this at Ubuntu. I don't even feel the need to switch to windows or anything, except for a couple games that I miss.

Playing around further, on my system which has a wuxga monitor (1920x1200), I got a video with good audio with this command:

 ffmpeg -r 30 -s wuxga -f x11grab -i :0.0 -vcodec msmpeg4v2 -qscale 2 -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -acodec aac -strict experimental testing123.avi

Note that I changed to the aac -strict experimental codec for the audio. This video plays perfectly with dragonplayer and avidemux. gxine and xine play it but the audio is either muffled or absent, vlc inverts it and also garbles the audio.

@xSadoro, is your microphone working correctly with other packages -- have you tested it?

[Detonate]

I tried dibl's code and it worked fine for me. I don't currently have a microphone so I could not test whether or not audio input was being tested. I did have a streaming radio show open and playing, but not surprisingly it did not record that.

[vinnywright]

perhaps you do not have the proper codecs installed on your system to use the ffmpeg codes you have tried.

try this one

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -s 1366x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -vcodec ffv1 filename.avi

the ffv1 is a ffmpeg native codec and should work , ,,,change the 1366x768 to your resolution and the file name to what you like ,,,,,

Hello I know this is an old thread of mine. But I just found out something very interesting , I dont know if someone will ever reply in this thread. But i will try anyway.


So after trying 13.04 I reinstalled again 12.04. Im here right now, fresh install, no drivers installed , as of the privative ones. Does 12.04 come with installed drivers? Because Desktop Effects seem to be working AND ..I can record fullscreen games!!! But yet no drivers installed so i guess my problem had to do with that ? And btw I couldnt take a pic of a fullscreen game either! I found out recently... Games right now don't work as fast as with the drivers so maybe I need to uninstall whatever driver comes built in and install the privative ati drivers? this is weird ...
