I'm using Ubuntu Precise 64 bit. Is there an app which will capture video & audio from a TV programme being played on my PC? I'm thinking of the video coming on Demand. PS by capture, I mean record to disk.

None of above apps work for me. I've got ffmpeg (command line program) to do the job. I was not able to use the Ubuntu supplied version of ffmpeg, which is actually avconv, as it won't accept the pulse parameter. So I installed the 'proper' ffmpeg using How to replace avconv with (the real) ffmpeg and have it work right?

and that did the job. I'm going to write a Gambas3 app to do the job with a GUI.

There are several options for this, what you want is a "screencast". For this task there are several (yes, redundancy) tools:

  • RecordMyDesktop
  • Kazam
  • Instambul
  • deskscribe
  • kx11grab
  • MORE

Just look for them in the Ubuntu Software Center take one, test it and love it!
