Hi,
Is there a way to Record the screen (in fact, it is console) to video
clip on Ububtu 14.04 server ?
This is a server, I don't have Xwindows on it. And I want to record
the commands + responses I see on screen into
video, for a demo. I tried with building ffmpeg from sources, and when I run
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+100,200
-f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0 output.mkv
I get:
ffmpeg version 3.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 4.9.2 (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13)
configuration: --disable-yasm
libavutil 55. 34.100 / 55. 34.100
libavcodec 57. 64.100 / 57. 64.100
libavformat 57. 56.100 / 57. 56.100
libavdevice 57. 1.100 / 57. 1.100
libavfilter 6. 65.100 / 6. 65.100
libswscale 4. 2.100 / 4. 2.100
libswresample 2. 3.100 / 2. 3.100
Unknown input format: 'x11grab'
I had built ffmpeg thus:
./configure --enable-x11grab --enable-gpl --disable-yasm
And I am following this website (though it talks about desktop, not a server):
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop
So my questions are:
1) Is there a different tool for that on Ubuntu 14.04 ?
2) Is there a solution to this Unknown input format: 'x11grab' ?
Regards,
Kevin
