Hello all,
I have been trying for days to figure out how to capture the video from my desktop and save it as a playable file. I've been successful to a point. I am able to capture audio and video from my desktop as far as opening and using apps, moving my mouse and what not, but when I open a web browser and go to google or CNN or Yahoo or Fox News or anywhere for that matter, the Browser Window header is present (Firefox or IE) and the mouse pointer but the Browser Window with the content is a black screen. I believe it is because Microsoft no longer supports Direct Show and or my video card is not compatible with FFmpeg or the feed to the browser is somehow separate from the video I can see on the screen. I'm clueless here. Does anyone see where I may have gone south in the script below or the hardware I'm using? If possible, would someone offer an alternate script I can try? Here is my script. It has been put together using google searches as I'm very new to FFmpeg. ffmpeg -y -rtbufsize 2000M -f gdigrab -thread_queue_size 1024 -probesize 50M -r 30 -video_size 1920x1080 -draw_mouse 1 -i desktop -f dshow -i audio="Stereo Mix (Realtek High Definition Audio)" -c:v libx264 -r 30 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -strict -2 -ac 2 -b:a 96k -y "I:\Captured\TestAV.mp4" Please let me start off with some information regarding my system. I have a 4GHZ/8 core AMD CPU with 128GB RAM, leveraging a 2TB Samsung SSD. My Net connection is FIOS Gigabit service. 1GB down and 850MB up. My Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 with 2GB of memory. As you can see below I have only three direct show devices. A webcam, webcam microphone and Stereo Mix. There is no video device.
