Recording
To record video and audio streams while mirroring:
scrcpy --record=file.mp4
scrcpy -r file.mkv
To record only the video:
scrcpy --no-audio --record=file.mp4
To record only the audio:
scrcpy --no-video --record=file.opus
scrcpy --no-video --audio-codec=aac --record=file.aac
scrcpy --no-video --audio-codec=flac --record=file.flac
scrcpy --no-video --audio-codec=raw --record=file.wav
# .m4a/.mp4 and .mka/.mkv are also supported for opus, aac and flac
Timestamps are captured on the device, so packet delay variation does not
impact the recorded file, which is always clean (only if you use --record of
course, not if you capture your scrcpy window and audio output on the computer).
Format
The video and audio streams are encoded on the device, but are muxed on the client side. Several formats (containers) are supported:
- MP4 (
.mp4,.m4a,.aac) - Matroska (
.mkv,.mka) - OPUS (
.opus) - FLAC (
.flac) - WAV (
.wav)
The container is automatically selected based on the filename.
It is also possible to explicitly select a container (in that case the filename needs not end with a known extension):
scrcpy --record=file --record-format=mkv
Rotation
The video can be recorded rotated. See video orientation.
No playback
To disable playback while recording:
scrcpy --no-playback --record=file.mp4
scrcpy -Nr file.mkv
# interrupt recording with Ctrl+C
It is also possible to disable video and audio playback separately:
# Record both video and audio, but only play video
scrcpy --record=file.mkv --no-audio-playback
Time limit
To limit the recording time:
scrcpy --record=file.mkv --time-limit=20 # in seconds
The --time-limit option is not limited to recording, it also impacts simple
mirroring:
scrcpy --time-limit=20
