does the sound capture too ??

[yusukeshinyama]

Sound capturing itself is done by a separate program (arecord in this case). But there's a script that automatically combines the video and sound and produces the final output, which is this.

@thriftybob If you're using Unix, you could use Xephyr or XNest to make a small window that acts like a whole X11 server. Attach x11vnc to the "fake" X11 server instead of your real one, and run your program fullscreen inside the "fake" X11 server.

Can it record a section of the screen? I can make the window I want to record full screen, but almost 1/2 is black space around the window I need to record.
