ffscreencast

  • https://github.com/cytopia/ffscreencast - a shell wrapper for ffmpeg that allows fool-proof screen recording via the command line. It will auto-detect all available monitors, cameras and microphones and is able to interactively or manually choose the desired recording device(s). Additionally ffscreencast will let you overlay the camera stream on top of the desktop session.Besides that ffscreencast can act as an ffmpeg command generator. Every available option can also just show the corresponding ffmpeg command instead of executing it. Non-ffmpeg commands, such as how the camera resolution is pulled and others can also be shown instead of being executed.

recordMyDesktop

  • recordMyDesktop - session recorder for GNU / linux that attemps to be easy to use, yet also effective at it's primary task .As such, the program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way.The commandline tool (which essentially is recordMyDesktop),is written in C, while there are two frontends, written in python with pyGtk (gtk-record) andpyQt4 (qt-record).

FFcast

  • https://github.com/lolilolicon/FFcast - deals with rectangles on screens. Mostly, it selects rectangles. Like most boring jobs, there are many ways to do it: free selection, selection by window, screen number, numeric geometry, or by edge detection. Simple arithmetic operations allow simple combinations and adjustments. Now FFcast knows all about these rectangles, but what to do with them? Well, like most useless things, there are many ways to use them: in practice, screenshots and screencasts are obviously popular options; in general, the geometry can be utilized by any application that understands X geometry, including window managers, xorg-apps (xclock, xev), byzanz-record, dunst, dzen2, FFmpeg, gifview, ImageMagick, maim, mousetweaks, mpv, Nautilus, screenkey, sxiv, xdotool, xscast, xsnap, zenity, to randomly name a few.
