Show us some desktop action!

[claydoh]

My desktop:
Kubuntu 14.10, with Plasma 5 Added
Kodi as a border-less full-screen window so that I can minimize it quickly as needed.

Boring, but functional.

An HP 600 pro "small form factor" pc, running a dual core Pentium 2.8, 4 gb ram and a GT GeForce GT 610 half-height fanless gpu, It was still pretty snappy using the on-board intel graphics.

[Snowhog]

Geez. Okay, here you go. My first screencast.

LOL ,,,,,,,,,I get that .

by the way ,,,, on the part of your screencast where you show the avconv web page TUT. ,,,,,,,their is an error in the explanation of the command ,,,,,,where it sead

-i :0.0 is where we want to set our recording start point, leave it like this

is wrong it is not the start point, but the input device , -i (is input) :0.0(the primary display)

I used this

avconv  -f x11grab -s hd1080 -r 25 -i :0.0  out.mp4

and if I was trying to capture sound as well (from the speaker line)

avconv -f pulse -i [COLOR=#ff0000]alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor[/COLOR] -f x11grab -s hd1080 -r 25 -i :0.0  out.mp4

if I wanted to get the microphone I would change the part in red to

alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

I use

pactl list sources | less

to get the name of the device .

[Snowhog]

avconv  -f x11grab -s hd1080 -r 25 -i :0.0  out.mp4

Won't work for everyone. I don't have HD capability with my GPU.

yes that may be true ,,, one should use the native resolution the they are currently running IE: (-s 1024x768) or whatever it is .

It happens that mine is a hd1080 HD-display

BTW ,,,,your vid will play in 720p-HD
VINNY
