My result:

- I had to change screen size to 1366x768 according to my laptop display
- Audio and video are not in sync, I can see the following message
after executing the ffmpeg command:

[swscaler @ 0x1ac5080] Warning: data is not aligned! This can lead to
a speedloss

This is the full log.
Thank you very much!

Interesting. If you use Xephyr you can record a virtual desktop larger than your actual display (and therefore 1920x1080), does that avoid the error (and give you better results)?
