Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-05-31 14:47:56 UTC 
Since 3.4, it seems that when you record with ctrl+shift+alt+R, the shell creates a timestamped webm file in XDG_VIDEOS_DIR... However, if you stop the recording and start it again, instead of creating a second file, it will actually append to the first file. This is weird and non-discoverable...

Restarting the shell (alt+F2, r) makes it create a new file on the next recording attempt.
