    Sorry for the double post.
    I have partially fixed the problem. I have the audio in sync but only by decreasing the frame rate from 30 to 24. This will work but is there a reason it didn't work at 30?

    Please show your ffmpeg command and the complete ffmpeg console output. Does it make a difference if you replace "-r" with "-framerate"?

    Thanks for the response! My command:
    Code:
    ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -threads 0 output.mkv
    Also it should be noted that decreasing the fps to 24 did not completely fix the problem... It's 50/50 sometimes it's in sync and sometimes it's not, very odd.
    Output:

    Re: HOWTO: Proper Screencasting on Linux

    It's good you're using a recent and real build of ffmpeg.

    1. Have you tried using -framerate instead of -r?

    2. What if you capture video and audio as separate processes and remux? (The following is untested)
    Code:
    ffmpeg -f x11grab -framerate 24 -video_size 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -t 60 v.mkv & \
    ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -acodec copy -t 60 a.wav && fg; \
    ffmpeg -i v.mkv -i a.wav -c copy -shortest muxed.mkv
    3. What player are you using so you know it is not in sync?

    4. Is it better if you re-encode the original, out-of-sync output?
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i output.mkv -vf scale=640:-1 -crf 18 -preset medium -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy output.mkv

    Turns out that right there fixed it! Thanks for the help.
    And if you're curious I upload the clips to Youtube to verify it's not my viewer making it out of sync.
    Thanks again!

    Re: HOWTO: Proper Screencasting on Linux

    Hello all,

    First of all, sorry if the information I'm sharing is not related with the topic.
    With some coworkers we are developing a tool to replace Jing for ubuntu. Is free and the source code is in bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/msbrocca/screen-capturer

    So far we are just capturing screen parts to save or share. We have an open branch to work on video capturing.

    Feel free to take a look and use it.
    Regards,
    Maxi
