You will need to download and install 2 things

  1. ffmpeg static build
  2. Screen Capture Recorder

First you should install screen capture recorder. Next, Extract ffmpeg static build zip using 7z utility. In the extracted folder, you will find the ff-prompt.bat file. Just launch it and use below command.

 ffmpeg -f dshow -r 5 -i video="screen-capture-recorder" d:\blogs\nn3.flv

Errors while Recording the screen using ffmpeg on Window system
You may see errors saying "real time buffer too full or near to full... frames dropped" This might occur due to low memory in your computer. You can solve this problem by choosing low frame rate like below 5 using command line switch say   -r 5.
