Record screen with mouse?

Postby PSkilton » 23 Apr 2014 21:43

Hello,

Thanks for the fantastic VLC Media Player! I used many years ago to replace the Windows default and have never thought of going back.

I recently discovered that VLC can record the desktop and it has worked flawlessly!

The only thing that I can't get to work is recording the mouse. When I put the command line in I get a "Bad file descriptor" error. I saw a few posts about recording with the mouse here and there but I'm not sure what the final answer was. I found a command line page that has the command line for making the mouse appear in the recording as ":screen-mouse-image=file:<string>" and others had "--screen-mouse-image=file:<string>"
I also found that it hasn't been integrated yet.

Is there a special way to record the mouse?

I'm thinking that the latter is the answer, but I thought I'd ask. ;)

Thanks!

Could I ask - what does this mean? 'Record the desktop.' 'Record the mouse.'
How do you record a thing? A noun.
It'd be like recording a rock, wouldn't it? Recording a duck.
