Recording specific window with ffmpeg?

[josh17]

I was wondering if it was possible to record a specific window while record with ffmpeg via terminal? I'm trying to record minecraft gameplay but it does the whole screen, which I don't want because I play windowed mode.

I record using this command:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s wxga -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /home/josh/videoTitle.mpg

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

See HOWTO: Proper Screencasting on Linux, specifically the section "Q: How do I get the exact size and coordinates of a specific window I want to capture?" (use xwininfo).

Do not use "-sameq": it does not mean "same quality".
