how to record your screen with the sound emitted from the loudspeakers

you have to install pavucontrol and ffmpeg


use the following command line (change it to your needs)

[utilisateur@ordi ~]$ ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -t 01:26:05 -s 562x318 -i :0.0+376,347 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /media/data/output.mkv

This will record the screen 562 pixels wide, 318 pixels high starting at 346 pixels from the left and 347 pixels from the top

when the ffmpeg is recording, pavucontrol has to be set this way :















To record in full screen :

[utilisateur@ordi ~]$ ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -t 00:20:33 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0+nomouse -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 /media/data/output.mkv
