Hello.

Can you please open green-recorder from the command line interface and record using the MP4 format and put the output here? Also, what options did you choose when recording? Do you use built-in microphone or something?

I just check in Record Microphone and I already try to it in a build-in Microphone and a normal phone Microphone and the result is the same

Yes, you are using ffmpeg 2.x which is an old version of the library. Green recorder was designed to work with ffmpeg 3.x. You can search online for any trusted .Deb package for ffmpeg 3.x and install it.

The package was uploaded to the PPA by the way. If you are using 16.04 or Linux Mint. You can try again.
