New question #668968 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/668968

I would like to capture my sikulix script run on video - would be very helpful when something failed.

I managed to run a video recording with ffmpeg:
https://www.ffmpeg.org/

and the following .bat command launched from sikulix:
D:\ffmpeg.exe -y -rtbufsize 100M -f gdigrab -framerate 30 -offset_x 0 -offset_y 0 -video_size 1920x1200 -draw_mouse 1 -i desktop -c:v libx264 -r 30 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -crf 28 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart "D:\1.mp4"

The problem is that sikulix App.close() and CMD taskkill commands cannot stop the recorder.
I need to execute CTRL+C command before or after App.close() or taskkill commands - otherwise ffmpeg continues to record.
I know it's possible ti run CTRL+C from sikuli but since my script opens and closes lots of windows I'm afraid that .CMD windows could be out of focus when it's executed. Sikuli App.focus() method also doesn't work with CMD.exe being started by the .bat file.

The other problem that I see in the future is that if something fails and the script doesn't get to the commands that would stop the recorder, the recording will not stop. Is there a way to run a command that would stop the recording if script failed?

I would be happy to hear if someone already get through this and let me know how to do it.
I'm not tied to ffmpeg-software, it's just the first thing I tried, if there is a better solution I would love to try it.

Thanks in advance.
