Hello,

I'm trying to use ffmpeg to record the computer screen and also audio from microfone. Googling I found a lot of "how to". Although I can now record, I do have a few questions (3):

1) Using command

$ ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 512 -f alsa -ac 2 -ar 44100 -i hw:0,0 -video_size 1024x768 -probesize 10M -framerate 30 -thread_queue_size 512 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -vf "format=yuv420p" output.mp4

last 2 seconds of output.mp4 has no sound at all. Similar issue reported at

To diminish the issue, I added "-preset ultrafast" to the above command and now the only last 0.2s has no sound (fine with this)


Question: is there a reason for this "sound issue" when ultrafast is not used?

2) Is this the correct way to use Hardware Aceleration?

3) Are those commands above "correct"? I mean, is there something "wrong" or can it be improved to reduce file size, improve video quality or sound quality? I know that ffmpeg has tons of options and "improve" is not a clear question.


Kind regards,
Leonardo
