# Linux screen capture
Uses [CVLC](#) (command-line VLC) to record an ongoing screen session in Linux.
Requires [VLC](#) to be installed.
## Usage
To save a new video file in the current folder:
```
screencast
```
Pass `-d` or `--directory` to save a new video file in a new or existing folder `foo`:
```
screencast -d foo
```
New files will be named `screencast-.mp4`
### Important
In order to finish recording and save the video file, enter `quit` in the original console.
Do not close with `ctrl-c` as it can corrupt the file!
## Notes
- Doesn't display cursor in output
- There is a way to provide a custom PNG to overlay cursor movements
- BUT! Cursor won't change as it does on usual interactive elements (text, buttons, etc)
- Obvious lag in final output
- FPS flag doesn't seem to change the output framerate
