I recorded with avconv (ffmpeg's new version) You need a compositing window manager for it to turn up right as it pulls straight from xorg rather than buffering or drawing from the game. Suffice to say: It's one fast recorder :) (PS: Shadows work fine in GW1 on the latest nvidia driver I've found) This is the script I used, I'll go over each line for you: Code: #!/bin/bash avconv \ -f x11grab -r 30 -s hd1080 -i :0.0 \ -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse \ -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 \ -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -map 2:0 \ -vcodec libx264 -vf 'scale=-1:720' -pre:v lossless_ultrafast \ -acodec libmp3lame \ -y $@ Code: avconv \ # start the program -f x11grab -r 30 -s hd1080 -i :0.0 \ # Create input type "x11grab" framerate 30 size 1080p (Lots of options and manual available there) input from :0.0 server -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse \ # Create audio input type "alsa" with 2 channels from "pulse" (Set default pulse input to "Monitor of internal audio" or set it manually in recording tab after starting recorder) -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 \ # Record audio from mic in a separate track (Makes editing a breeze) # You can find which audio device this is with arecord -l -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -map 2:0 \ # Just map them out so that it actually uses both audio tracks not just the one -vcodec libx264 -vf 'scale=-1:720' -pre:v lossless_ultrafast \ # encode with libx264, automatically scale to 720p on the fly (something is bottlenecking me at 26fps if I record full 1080p and I'd rather have a smaller 30fps) # Video preset is "lossless_ultrafast" - creates a huge file but does it quickly, you can slim it down later. -acodec libmp3lame \ # mp3 audio codec -y $@ # Automatically overwrite and put the script options at the end (For manual tweaking and choosing which file to record to)
