Record screen videos on vlc easily

Screen recording with VLC is fairly simple,
and requires just a few steps -
Open VLC player, and click on View –>
Advanced Controls. A few more buttons
will appear on the interface.
Now, press Ctrl + C (or, go to Media –>
Open Capture Device…).
In the new window, set Capture Device
to “Desktop”, and the Desired frame
rate to “10 fps” (frames per second).
You can set a higher value if you want,
but 10-12 fps will make just fine
screencasts.
Click on the Play button, and VLC will
start showing your desktop. Make sure
VLC isn’t maximized, else all you’ll see
is an endless stream of VLC-inside-VLC
windows!
Click on the Record button to start
recording. You should preferably
minimize the VLC window so that it
doesn’t show up in your screencast.
Do whatever you need to show in your
screencast, then restore the VLC
window and click on the Record button
again to stop recording.
VLC will automatically save an AVI file
in your Videos folder, which you can
then share or do whatever you want
with it.
