How can I capture a video of my screen in fedora?

edit

Or try my script (slightly modified version from the internet), it produces very high-quality screencast of a window you select with your mouse:

#!/bin/bash

NAME=screencast-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
FPS=4
THREADS=3

echo "Click the window to capture and get ready!"

tmpfile=/tmp/screengrab.tmp.$$
trap 'touch $tmpfile; rm -f $tmpfile' 0

xwininfo > $tmpfile 2>/dev/null
left=$(grep 'Absolute upper-left X:' $tmpfile | awk '{print $4}');
top=$(grep 'Absolute upper-left Y:' $tmpfile | awk '{print $4}');
width=$(grep 'Width:' $tmpfile | awk '{print $2}');
height=$(grep 'Height:' $tmpfile | awk '{print $2}');
geom="-geometry ${width}x${height}+${left}+${top}"
echo "Geometry: ${geom}"
size="${width}x${height}"
pos="${left},${top}"
echo "pos=$pos size=$size"

sleep 2
ffmpeg -y -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r $FPS -s $size -i ${DISPLAY-0:0}+${pos} -acodec pcm_s16le $NAME-temp.wav -an -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 0 $NAME-temp.mp4

echo Merge audio+video and encode to webm for YouTube? && read

ffmpeg -i $NAME-temp.mp4 -i $NAME-temp.wav -acodec libvorbis -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec libvpx -qscale 8 -me_method full -mbd rd -flags +gmc+qpel+mv4 -trellis 1 -threads $THREADS $NAME.webm

This is so easy to use. Just click, wait 2 seconds to start recording and talk. Then cancel the process, work done. The output format is ideal for YouTube.

I would suggest a very nice and lightweight one called recordmydesktop

yum install gtk-recordmydesktop

more varieties

yum search recordmydesktop

in rpmfusion repos you got vokoscreen and simplescreenrecorder

simplescreenrecorder-0.3.8-1.fc25.x86_64

One that works well and is just a front end to ffmpeg is QX11Grab

You can get the git version with

git clone git://gitweb.hjcms.de/qx11grab

It says dbus 1.4.12 is required but it isn't available in Fedora so I changed CMakeLists.txt like this:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES (DBUS REQUIRED dbus-1>=1.4.10)

It built and runs fine, only the icons on the interface doesn't show ;-p I didn't write to the author because my PC is old and I can't record much anyway but it would be worth fixing this little issue for Fedora as it's a simple and effective app.

Here I found a video which tells how to record screen with audio in HD quality in fedora and it is working so I thought to share the link in this answer. link - https://youtu.be/WKyxeueYZuc

I found UkeySoft Screen Recorder can be used to record all local videos, online video, conferences videos, webcam videos, game videos with high quality on PC. It is ideal for recording videos for study/business/game use.

To be honest, I just know how to capture audio playing on your PC. As for me, I usually using AudFree Audio Capture for Windows to record sound playing on my computer and then I can transfer them on Fedora for offline playback.

I like Acethinker Online Screen Recorder, which could record webcam video, desktop video and upload the video to youtube freely.It is a cloud based software to record computer screen without install any software in your computer.

I use TuneFab Screen Recorder to capture a video from my screen, then I can use it freely without any limitation, like sharing videos with my friends.
