The software facilitates recording of X11 desktop windows with ease, enabling users to capture videos and screenshots conveniently.
The way it works is that qx11grab grabs window dimensions with xevent and prepares the command-line for FFmpeg, which includes configuration options. It then sends the generated parameter list to a new FFmpeg process. Essentially, qx11grab is not the actual recording software, but it prepares all the necessary commands for FFmpeg to record your desktop windows.
Before installing qx11grab, it's important to check if FFmpeg supports this feature. You can do this by running the following command: ffmpeg -f x11grab -s svga -r 24 -b 6500 -bt 256k -sameq -i :0.0+1,33 /tmp/out.avi.
In summary, qx11grab is a useful tool for recording X11 desktop windows, and it's easy to use. Just make sure to check if FFmpeg supports the feature before installing.
