Wendell mentioned on one of the Linux videos that he used Open screen recorder. After searching for a while I couldn't find it, does anyone kn ow where to get it?

This probably isn't it, but here's OBS.

Well Logan set that up on his pc, so I assume Wendell might have the some program since the program is great and just simply works.

Do you know where to get it?

I use the following command to record my screen:

 avconv -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -threads 4 $HOME/output.avi

The file output location can be changed by changing the "$HOME/output.avi" at the end of the command. THe quality is really good and the file size is small.

That's a rather rudimentary way about it no offence.
in regards to OP's request install OBS with this.
