Hi, I sent this information one month ago to #588260 but did not hear
back from anyone, so I am now sending it again to this bug report.
This bug has been fixed in the official 0.4.0 upstream release found here:
https://github.com/Enselic/recordmydesktop/releases/tag/v0.4.0
It is worth noting that Ubuntu has picked up this release:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/recordmydesktop/0.4.0-0ubuntu1
The release fixes, among other things (see release notes for details),
the following Debian bugs:
#588260 recordmydesktop: There is no --y=N option
#706574 recordmydesktop: truncates recordings
#649824 recordmydesktop: Specifying --use-jack makes recordmydesktop
exit with a bad screen geometry
#859686 recordmydesktop: man page is really ugly
#584269 recordmydesktop: Typo with recordmydesktop
This time I am putting the maintainer on explicit CC, and I will also
CC Moritz Muehlenhoff who did the last action related to this package
according to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/recordmydesktop
