This tutorial will explain in step by step how to record a computer screen (also known as screencasting or screen recording) using OBS Studio program. The program is available on Ubuntu GNU/Linux and all other operating systems as well. This will result in a video with a select file format like mp4 or mkv with your voice recorded in. Optionally, we include the setup so you can also record two way voices, both input and output, to record a video conference session with many participants, for example. We will explain it from installing the software to finishing the video.

WinFF is an Ubuntu application to convert multimedia files in easy way. It is an alternative (replacement) to Any Video Converter or FormatFactory from Windows; so you can do audio/video conversions in ways you are familiar to as well on GNU/Linux. WinFF can convert all formats, including the popular MP4, MP3, OGV, OGG, FLV, WMV, WEBM, and MKV. Actually, it is a visual version of FFmpeg command line, hence the name WinFF. This tutorial explains how to install it on Ubuntu and give you example in using it. Enjoy!

This tutorial covers a handy command line to convert MP4 video to MP3 audio. That command is called FFmpeg that is available in most GNU/Linux distros including Ubuntu and Trisquel. Although we know VLC can do conversion as well, but I figured out that FFmpeg does converting faster and better. By this, you can make an MP4 video playable as audio in your phone, portable player, and other devices other than computer. To do it, you should be able to do at least basic command lines as you can learn by the beginner's guide. I write this tutorial so I can refer to next time I write about multimedia. Enjoy!

Do you want audio player indicator on the GNOME Shell top panel? Then Media Player Indicator (by eon) is the right extension for you. It supports Rhythmbox, Banshee, Clementine, and another media players that support MPRIS2 technology. It is similar with the media player indicator you find in Unity.

Install


Follow our instruction about installing GNOME Shell Extension. You will get Media Player Indicator (MPI) showing as a new entry on the top panel once your media player is playing.



Features


(1) When you start a media player (e.g. Rhythmbox), the new entry will be shown on your top panel system tray by a musical icon. When you quit the media player, that entry disappears. 



(2) The MPI user interface is very simple when you pull the tray down. It is a single entry named with your media player name (e.g. Rhythmbox), showing the audio and album title, showing control buttons (play, stop, previous, next), showing the time indicator and slider.


(3) When its playing an audio track, then you close the media player window (e.g. Rhythmbox), it continues playing the audio track (won't quit). But when there is no track playing, when you close the media player window, the MPI icon on the top panel will also quit.  Tip: to open the media player window, just click the track title area.


Do you like to create some video tutorials? Are you using GNOME 3? Then just use EasyScreenCast extension to record the screen and your voice, into a video by just clicking a button in the top panel. Sounds interesting? Let we show you how here.

Mobile Media Converter is one of the most easy to use GUI program to convert any audio/video in GNU/Linux. In 1.8.5 version, it has YouTube downloader feature too. Mobile Media Converter is licensed in GNU GPL v2. Unfortunately, it is not available in Ubuntu official repository. So this is instruction to install it manually in Ubuntu 14.04.

Selene is a GUI audio/video converter application for converting files to many multimedia formats. It can handle MP3, OGG, MP4, WEBM, and so on. Here the instructions about how to install Selene in Ubuntu via PPA. The PPA provides Selene for 12.04, 14.04, until 16.04. Thanks for teejee for providing this PPA.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install selene

Explanation: those three commands set a new repository, resync the repository setting, and the install selene. It needs to download about 18 MB data in our Ubuntu 14.04. Selene is not available in official Ubuntu repository for now, so installing it from PPA is the only way (easy way).
