@albertkircher Thanks! I went ahead and bought some commercial software to do the captures, the VLC interface is just too obscure and not worth my time. I still use VLC for simple playback (and have for years) but it's just too much of a nerd-defined interface to use for anything else.

Thanks so much. This helped a lot.

@contact1araya hey bro, i just checked this out. I was able to get it, yes i had a small file but it was recorded as is on the screen. I used mp4 settings, i couldnt get any sound. I recorded for 1m4s & got a 843kb mp4 file that had no audio. I might be able to help you out, but i did not get the audio.

@contact1araya Very true, and I'm on linux.

Bullshit all these videos show the same thing, but what they dont show you is that when you go to see your recorded file, it is like 1 kilobyte and totally unrecognizable by any player.
It might be worth pointing out that it does not capture the mouse pointer. That makes it a bit iffy for recording training videos.

you gotta have an image that represents the mouse pointer, for this a script with ":screen-mouse-image=C:\mouse.png " works (note the mouse pointer image on C:), if you have the correct folders the following will work (I tried one minute ago): see next reply

vlc screen:// --screen-fps="14" :screen-mouse-image=C:\mouse.png --screen-caching="10000" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=150,fps=14,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file, mux=avi, dst=c:\\Simulator_%%Y-%%m-%%d_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.avi}}" --screen-follow-mouse
