I wanted to do a screen capture to show how my fittstool desktop worked, but I wanted to use free/libre software for the capture and the end product.
I found I could capture sound and video with this command
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 1 -ar 44100 -i hw:1 -video_size 1440x900 -framerate 30 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.mkv
Then I had to re-encode to a freer format that took ages and looked crap.
I tried using vp8 and after many attempts I got a reasonable webm screen capture. Running sound and video capture in the same command failed to grab all the sound but I discovered that running them as seperate commands worked fine!
I added both commands to a script and muxed them without the need to re-encode.
Capture screen and rename with date and time year-month-day-hour-seconds in a libre format.
##"capture-libre" script##
#!/bin/bash
## capture screen and rename with date and time year-month-day-hour-seconds in a libre format
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 1 -ar 44100 -i hw:1 `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.ogg &
ffmpeg -video_size 1440x900 -framerate 20 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 1M `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.webm &
This will produce two files an ogg with the sound and a webm video both named the same and as near as damn it the same length.
Then killall ffmpeg to stop it! crude I know.
Now mux them in to one file, video with sound.
ffmpeg -i mux20151104112754.ogg -i mux20151104112754.webm -c copy -shortest mux20151104112754.webm
edit: I have since modded the scripts and now have a capture script and a stop-mux-clean-move script
