How to Record Screen and internal Audio?
Solution 1:
SimpleScreenRecorder did the trick for me when recording online playing videos. It has an (experimental) OpenGL feature. In Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install simplescreenrecorder
With the OpenGL feature you can select to record an specific application window. So you can even keep working while recording in the background. Don´t play any music though, because the audios will mix together (unless, of course, U R a DJ ;) )
Solution 2:
Maybe RecordMyDesktop could work for you? It has the ability to record your screen and audio, but I'm not sure if it supports games.
You can install it with
sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
If you want a GUI, you need to also install one of the packages gtk-recordmydesktop
(GTK) or recorditnow
(Qt)
It is discontinued but it does work as expected.

I am using recordscreen.py Python script. It launches ffmpeg
or avconv
behind the scenes, so make sure you have them installed.
Record entire desktop to output.mkv
at 15 FPS:
recordscreen.py output.mkv
Record at 30 FPS with different audio and video codec:
recordscreen.py -r 30 --vcodec=vp8 --acodec=pcm output.mkv
Or record into .webm
:
recordscreen.py output.webm
I haven't tried recording games with it, so I will be interested to hear how it goes.
And just for historical perspective here's one of the earliest blog posts about it.
