I get "error: '/dev/video0' is not a valid webcam input device on this system" when trying to record video w/o webcam #2

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?

./screencast -i default -f mp4 -S -u
[ screencast ] error: '/dev/video0' is not a valid webcam input device on this system

I'm using version 1.4.0 on Funtoo anyway.

Thank you for the interest in screencast.

I have identified the problem and will fix it shortly.

Offtopic hint: You don't need to specify -f mp4 because this is the default. You can simply omit this option and the output format will be mp4. The same logic applies to all options.

Cool, thanks! :) Thank you yourself, for making this awesome tool! It's a lot more easier to use this, than just ffmpeg alone.

It's good to know that this program is being useful for someone. Thank you for using it. I'm planning a gui version for the future.
