Summary0003734: ffmpeg bug with full screen recording
Description

I have been using vokoscreen to record my desktop full screen for quite some time now, and after the latest few updates, it doesn't work anymore. It will output a video, but any player will only play a 1 second clip, that's it. No audio or video.

I have also tried kazam, and such to no avail.

vokoscreen version 2.5.0
ffmpeg ffmpeg version 3.2-2 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 6.2.0 (Debian 6.2.0-10) 20161027

[vokoscreen] "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" is running and is ready for reading and writing

Steps To Reproduce

Use vokoscreen to record full desktop. End recording and try to play back in any video player, even vlc.

Additional Information

It appears that there is some issue with the way vokoscreen and ffmpeg talk? This manual ffmpeg command also fails

ffmpeg -video_size 1920x1080 -framerate 30 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast capture.mkv

Easy screencast doesn't appear to have any problems recording full screen with audio.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
