Allow recording screencats in combination with ffmepg
Tormen opened this issue · comments
Hi,
reading the last post here from dac-override, I would imagine that it could/should be possible to pipe the output of grim into ffmpeg and produce screencasts... potentially through slurp also for a specific region!
But I am not sure what the swaygrab -c did ...
Maybe -c stood for continuous grabbing ??
Could you add such a "endless-loop" grabbing ... not sure how the handover to ffmpeg works yet...
But I think this would be amazing :))
grim is not supposed to be used as a screen recording tool. For that, you can use https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder
@emersion : Thanks a lot for pointing me to wf-recorder! google was not able to do so, neither was the wiki of swaywm and wlroots.
Could be nice to add that to the wiki of swaywm (right below the link there to grim for screenshots). Could you do that? (or could I simply edit the wiki there ? - probably not, or?).
The swaywm wiki is editable. Please improve it!
Thanks!
& done for this matter :))
& will do for future stuff :))
