Hi<br />
I have a PC running Win XP x64 SP2 with Windows Media Player 11. I need to record the screen (no audio) and playback on the same PC. I'm using FFmpeg and have grabbed a command off google to get me started and tweaked it to get it to use the Windows Media Video codec<br />
<br />
ffmpeg -y -rtbufsize 100M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -probesize 10M -draw_mouse 1 -i desktop -c:v wmv2 -r 30 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p &quot;video output.wmv&quot;<br />
<br />
Using pretty much the same command except swapping the codec (-c:v libx264) and filetype to (&quot;video output.mp4&quot;) results in nice clear video. When I use the initial example, it works but is not very clear and pretty pixelated.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I can't install codecs and better media plays on the PC so I'm trying to work with Windows Media Player.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any idea how I can get better quality video which will play in Windows Media Player 11?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Need to use FFmpeg (WMV) to record desktop

FFmpeg

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
