The syntax for a desktop movie is

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 100 -s 1200x500 -i :0.0 \
-vcodec libx264  -threads 3 output.mp4

I want to take a single snapshot instead of a video and save it in jgep.

Which ffmpeg command allow me to do so?

  • Is using ffmpeg a hard requirement? It sounds like you would be better served by an image-centric tool instead. – dhag Feb 10 '17 at 14:41

If you want to use ffmpeg, you can do :

ffmpeg -f x11grab -framerate 1 -video_size 1200x500 -i :0.0 -vframes 1 output.jpeg

But I think there are better/simpler tools than ffmpeg to do that.
