Motivation

The ttyrec tool is a wonderful way to record and share terminal sessions and ttygif is a awesome way to turn them into gifs. However I would like to record videos of the terminal that include audio so giving an email of instuctions using mp4 would be the best way for me.

Usage

$ recterm <outputname-do not include the .mp4>

Example:

$ recterm test_terminal_session

The .wav and .mp4 file will be generated in the 'test_terminal_session' directory. In your current working directy the final .mp4 will be present with the file name test_terminal_session.mp4
