Creating a screencast

   1 screencap() {
   2 RESOLUTION="1920x1080" # Make this the capture size
   3 QUALITY="libvpx-1080p" # Run ls /usr/share/ffmpeg and pick a preset
   4 THREADS="16" # Change this to the amount of cpu threads you want ffmpeg to use
   5 OUTPUT="VideoFileName.mp4" # Leave the extension, change the file name to whatever
   6 
   7 ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -vol 255 -f x11grab -r 25 \
   8 -s $RESOLUTION -i :0.0+0,0 -acodec pcm_s16le \
   9 -vcodec libx264 -vpre $QUALITY \
  10 -threads $THREADS temp.mkv
  11 
  12 ffmpeg -i temp.mkv -vcodec libx264 -vpre $QUALITY -strict -2 -crf 22 -threads $THREADS $OUTPUT
  13
