Screen Video Recorder on Centos 5

[nmrdukeman]

HI,
Yes, I know. I should not post anything about Centos 5. It is no longer supported.
Anyway, I need to install a video screen recorder on a Centos 5. For a number of reasons, I can't update to Centos 6 and above.
Does anyone know which program that I can install on a Centos 5, free or commercial?

Thanks for your help.

Best

CentOS 5 is unsupported and becoming increasingly dangerous to run. It has not received any patches for more than 3 years and has unfixed high severity security vulnerabilities.

A long shot but if you have a version of ffmpeg installed you could use that.
I have a keyboard shortcut

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1600x900 -r 30 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -crf 19 -preset ultrafast -framerate 60 -y ~/videos/desktop.mkv

you'll have to adjust -s to your screen size and -crf and -preset may not work on old versions of x264 encoder, if the above doesn't work, try with bare settings

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f x11grab -i :0.0 -y ~/videos/desktop.mkv

and go from there.
To stop recording, my keyboard shortcut is

Code: Select all

killall ffmpeg
