Screen Capture with FFmpeg
I generally run into audio sync issues with my video capture in Linux. However today I had a bit of a breakthrough after a little research on YouTube.
I used both ffmpeg and mplayer via the following terminal commands
ffmpeg -f pulse -ac 2 -i default -f x11grab -s $(xwininfo -root | grep ‘geometry’ | awk ‘{print $2;}’) -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -threads 0 output.mkv
and in another tab
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=240:height=120: -vo xv tv:// -geometry “99%:95%” -ontop
My commands above may not work with your system or distribution but I thought I’d share just in case.
For reference I’m using a System76 Lemur Ultra and Manjaro Linux

His advice didn’t quite work for my system but it did put me in the right direction.
Fuduntu Linux to end in September
Having a drink in honor of an old friend. Fuduntu you’ll be missed.
Manjaro Linux 0.8.5 Openbox
Wow it took only 6 minutes to install on my desktop. Quite litterally the easiest text based installation I’ve ever used.
Kinda makes me wish I had a slow netbook lying around the house. This is far more fun than the last time I tried CruchBang and possibly faster than ArchBang :P
