Capture screen on Linux

A quick demo how to capture screen on Linux w/o audio:

ffmpeg -y -qscale 1 -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1280x800 -i :0.0+0,26 output.mp4

Notes

  • -y overwrite the output file output.mp4
  • the offset 0,26 (x,y) cuts the upper Ubuntu panel.
  • -qscale 1 is best quality. Worst is 31
  • -r 24 is the framerate of the video
