I really would appreciate all the help I can get here.
I'm trying to use the libx265 codec for recording an xorg dummy screen. The command that currently works for H264 (libx264 codec) is:
ffmpeg -y -v info -f x11grab -draw_mouse 0 -r 30 -s 1280x720 -thread_queue_size 4096 -i :0.0+0,0 -f alsa -acodec aac -strict -2 -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -af aresample=async=1 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -profile:v main -level 3.1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 30 -crf 21 -g 60 -tune zerolatency -f mp4 capture.mp4
In trying to get H265 instead, I first changed the codec to libx265 like below:
ffmpeg -y -v info -f x11grab -draw_mouse 0 -r 30 -s 1280x720 -thread_queue_size 4096 -i :0.0+0,0 -f alsa -acodec aac -strict -2 -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -af aresample=async=1 -c:v libx265 -preset fast -profile:v main -level 3.1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 30 -crf 21 -g 60 -tune zerolatency -f mp4 capture.mp4
But that didn't do it. Although it didn't error, it was producing a file that was playing at twice the recorded speed (i.e. twice the speed of the clip that was recorded).
Then I tried using -x265-params to specify the parameters like this:
ffmpeg -y -v info -f x11grab -draw_mouse 0 -r 30 -s 1280x720 -thread_queue_size 4096 -i :0.0+0,0 -f alsa -acodec aac -strict -2 -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -af aresample=async=1 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -x265-params profile=main:level=3.1:crf=21 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 30 -g 60 -tune zerolatency -f mp4 capture.mp4
And this gave me an error with the following message:
"output file #0 does not contain any stream ffmpeg"
I've tried all sorts of combinations, searched extensively online (for both how to set 265 parameters and on the output file error), but I'm not making a headway. I'm really new to all this. Can anyone please help (with the most simple terms and directions)?
