Bug Description
I want to record the screencast with ffmpeg. I'm doing it with this command:
ffmpeg -r 15 -g 30 -s 1280x1024 -f x11grab -s 800x600 -i :0.0 -vcodec qtrle screencast.mov
The video is recorded ok, but I have one, but serious problem: the mouse pointer always looks the same. In my screencast I'm shoing the browser and when the mouse is over the link is looks like a hand, but in the record the pointer is just the arrow.
So my question is how can I record the exact mouse cursers with ffmpeg.
I'm using ubuntu 9.10
