Record Your DESKTOP SCREEN
With VLC Media Player

VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop operating systems and mobile platforms, such as Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone, Android, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. VLC is also available on App stores such as Apple's App Store and Microsoft Windows Windows Store.

VLC media player supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats, including DVD-Video, video CD and streaming protocols. It is able to stream media over computer networks and to transcode multimedia files.

The default distribution of VLC includes a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries, avoiding the need for finding/calibrating proprietary plugins. The libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project provides many of VLC's codecs, but the player mainly uses its own muxers, and demuxers. It also has its own protocol implementations. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux and OS X by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption library.

And , Today , I am going show you how to capture/record your Desktop sreen with vlc media player.. Here , is the step by step guide..

Step 1 :

Open VLC media player

Step 2 :

Then , go to "MEDIA"
Open VLC Media player --> "MEDIA"

Step 3 :

select "CAPTURE DEVICE" tab..
Open VLC Media player --> "MEDIA" --> "CAPTURE DEVICE"

Step 4 :

Change capture mode to DESKTOP
Cpture Mode ==> DESKTOP

Step 5 :

Change Options to 30 f/s

Step 6 :

Choose CONVERT option instead of play option

Step 7 :

In the Convert window add the destination file via the BROWSE button then name the file TEST.MPG (VLC does require the extension so the file becomes TEST.MPG rather than just TEST) and click save button
If you want to change video format , you can do that throuh profile option. for example if you want to change video to mp4 format .. you can change that in profile options.. and you have to append .mp4 while naming your video file.

Step 8 :

Click START (Optional :Choose the DEINTERLACE option)

Step 9 :

If you have completed recording .. then.. press "STOP Playback" button. that's it..

How to video for you...

Simple Screen Recorder (SSR)
A Feature Rich Screen Recorder Application For Linux

SimpleScreenRecorder is a Qt-based sophisticated opensource screencast software made for Linux operating systems , which was created as a simpler alternative to programs such as ffmpeg/avconv and VLC.

The official website states that... following as ssr's main goal..

SimpleScreenRecorder is a Linux program that I've created to record programs and games. There were already a few programs that could do this, but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, so I created my own.
My original goal was to create a program that was just really simple to use, but as I was writing it I started adding more and more features, and the result is actually a pretty powerful program. It's 'simple' in the sense that it's easier to use than ffmpeg/avconv or VLC, because it has a straightforward user interface.

Features :

Graphical user interface (Qt-based).
Faster than VLC and ffmpeg/avconv.
Records the entire screen or part of it, or records OpenGL applications directly (similar to Fraps on Windows).
Synchronizes audio and video properly (a common issue with VLC and ffmpeg/avconv).
Reduces the video frame rate if your computer is too slow (rather than using up all your RAM like VLC does).
Fully multithreaded: small delays in any of the components will never block the other components, resulting is smoother video and better performance on computers with multiple processors.
Pause and resume recording at any time (either by clicking a button or by pressing a hotkey).
Shows statistics during recording (file size, bit rate, total recording time, actual frame rate, ...).
Can show a preview during recording, so you don't waste time recording something only to figure out afterwards that some setting was wrong.
Uses libav/ffmpeg libraries for encoding, so it supports many different codecs and file formats (adding more is trivial).
Sensible default settings: no need to change anything if you don't want to.
Tooltips for almost everything: no need to read the documentation to find out what something does.

Installation

Install SSR on Ubuntu And Its Derivatives

There is a PPA available for Ubuntu/Linux Mint and its derivatives.. So we can simply add that to our system and can install it easily..

Run the following command to install SSR in Ubuntu..

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder ubuntu-restricted-extras simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386

Install SSR on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS

You have to enable RPM Fusion repos(EPEL repos too.. for RHEL and CentOS) inorder to install SSR dependencies

Step 1 :

Before installing SSR you have to enable/install RPM Fusion repos , for RHEL/CentOS, EPEL repos.. You Can Find Instructions here.. How To Enable RPM Fusion repos and How To Enable EPEL repos

Step 2 :

Now install required dependencies..

For Fedora 22 and later..

sudo dnf install ffmpeg-devel qt4-devel alsa-lib-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel \
gcc make gcc-c++ glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libX11-devel libX11-devel.i686 libXext-devel libXext-devel.i686 \
libXfixes-devel libXfixes-devel.i686 mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGL-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 \
mesa-libGLU-devel.x86_64 qt4 git

For Fedora 21/RHEL/CentOS..

sudo yum install ffmpeg-devel qt4-devel alsa-lib-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel \
gcc make gcc-c++ glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libX11-devel libX11-devel.i686 libXext-devel libXext-devel.i686 \
libXfixes-devel libXfixes-devel.i686 mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGL-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 \
mesa-libGLU-devel.x86_64 qt4 git

Step 3 :

Clone/download the GitHub repository for Simple Screen Recorder:

cd && git clone https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr && cd ssr

Step 4 :

And finally, execute the installation script. to install the ssr..

chmod +x simple-build-and-install && ./simple-build-and-install

If the installation does not create a launch icon in the Applications menu, you can start Simple Screen Recorder from the terminal.

simplescreenrecorder

ln -s $(which simplescreenrecorder) ~/Desktop/'Simple Screen Recorder'
