I have just reported an incident where I had attempted to utilize ffmpeg​ with the specific purpose of X window capture. As of now, X window capture is not currently supported using FFmpeg. So far, the latest command that I had attempted for an X window capture was the following:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -framerate 60 -video_size 644x537 -show_region 1 -i :0.0+137,292 out2.mp4​

Unfortunately, however, my goal was not to record this portion of the screen specifically. Instead, my goal was to utilize the window identifier, 0x0614eb7​.
