screenrecord

Usage

The script is split into two parts, recording and transcoding. You'll usually want to record into a .mkv file and then transcode that into .mp4. This is because you can interrupt the mkv recording at any point without corrupting the output file.

To start recording, run the screenrecord script with the following argument format:

screenrecord -s 1920x1080 -r 60 -o 128,0 -f ./video.mkv

To get the full list of available options, run the screenrecord script with no arguments.

You can transcode mkv files to mp4 with the following command format

screenrecord-transcode ./screenrecording.mkv ./transcoded.mp4

Installation

To install screenrecord to /usr/local/bin, run the following

make install

You can customize the installation prefix with the PREFIX variable like so

make PREFIX=/usr install

Uninstall

make uninstall
