how to record your desktop; the simplest way
Hello, Congratulations on the new Style :)
here we will explain how to record your desktop GUI in command line in the simplest way, first you need ffmpeg package:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
now you can record your desktop using this command:
Code:
ffmpeg -an -s 1280x800 -r 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -y output.avi
replace the red color Code with your settings, then Enter,you can press Ctrl + c in the terminal when you End or just close the terminal :)
thanks:KS

The -sameq option should not be used when recording your screen. It does not mean "same quality". Replace it with -qscale with a value of 2 to 5, such as -qscale 2, when using -vcodec mpeg4. A lower value is a higher quality.

I use RecordMyDesktop - you can download it via Ubuntu Software Center.

Hello:
I think ffmpeg is deprecated. You have to use avconv instead. In any case, have you tried Kazam?. It is very good.

Hi
Another method could be to use online sites like
Go to
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
and do the screen recording by allowing the java applet to run
