At the end of the output you will see a number of devices listed under “DirectShow video devices” and “DirectShow audio devices”. Now you can use FFmpeg to display your available DirectShow capture sources: From a command line type “ffmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy”. Screen Capture Recorder is open source software ( contact author about license details).

I can recommend two filters: UScreenCapture and Screen Capture Recorder. The first thing that you will need to do (after you have FFmpeg installed) if you want to record your Windows® desktop is to install a DirectShow filter/driver that is designed specifically for this purpose. I will eventually update this tutorial with information on it.)įor a tutorial on how to record an X11 desktop (Linux/Unix/BSD) with FFmpeg see: ( NOTE: Newer versions of FFmpeg now have the gdigrab format for Windows.
