after lots of fine tunning, this is what I got. I filter >3kHz so there is no background noises.

This is a good setting for screencasting

ffmpeg \
-s 1366x768 -f x11grab -i :0.0 \
-f alsa -i pulse \
-vcodec libx264 -b 5000k \
-acodec aac -strict experimental \
-af highpass=f=20,lowpass=f=3000 \
-s hd720 -ab 320k -r 25 -g 25 -threads 0 output.mp4 &&

I'm having issue while using this. Vimeo is failing during optimization. Here's the issue: Kagami/ffmpeg.js#173

@kashifsulaiman Please note that this gist is several years old. FFmpeg might have changed dramatically. Please read up on the manual of the version you are using to find out about the latest options. Sorry, that I cannot help any better. I recommend to post the question on https://stackoverflow.com instead.
