I wanted to record a streamed video on Ubuntu 12.10 from a web page that did not offer a download facility. This could be useful if you needed to record a video not offered for download, for example from websites such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, RTE Player, 4OD, Portable North Pole (PNP).
I used XVidCap following these instructions to ensure audio was recorded with the video:
1. Uninstall xvidcap in Synaptic
2. Install xvidcap from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xvid…6.deb/download
3. Lock the installed version in Synaptic
4. Install pavucontrol in Synaptic (Needed in Ubuntu 10.04 but not in Linux Mint 10: already present)
5. Open the program with padsp xvidcap
6. Click on the recording button (red circle)
7. Run pavucontrol, go to the Recording tab and there choose Monitor of Analog Stereo Internal Audio
The test-000.mpeg file was located in /home/username/Downloads (it took me a few minutes to track that one down since there was a test-000.mpeg in my home folder too from the previous version of XVidCap).
