A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration.This post will guide you to record screencast using FFMPEG.
1 Configure FFMPEG
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-x11grab --enable-gpl
make
2 Do the recording
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -acodec ac3 -vcodec mpeg2video output.avi
More ffmpeg options pls see:man ffmpeg
3 Check audio/video Codecs which FFMPEG supports

Note, the names of encoders and decoders do not always match, so there are
several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries
even though both encoding and decoding are supported. For example, the h263
decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats it is even
worse.
