Details

Description:
Using ffmpeg to record the desktop fails with the message:

[x11grab @ 0x7f7193c68c40] Capture area 1920x1080 at position 0.0 outside the screen size 1920x1080
:0.0: Invalid argument

Additional info:
Package version: 1:2.6.3-1

Steps to reproduce:
At a terminal prompt issue:

ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -threads 0 output.mkv

Instead of creating output.mkv, the above message is displaed.

Workaround:
Downgraded to 1:2.6.2-1 and functionality returns.
