I see. Sad.
Another sad thing: something somehow made this your reply above on the 
thread, and from the archived mail of mine to which this above is your 
reply aooear wrongly.

What I mean is,
look at the thread:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-April/thread.html
and open the currently last two (not others, other are OK):

I can't represent this better, sorry.
Again, open just the last two, the mine and yours.
Mine appears correctly as:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-April/021048.html

buy what I see under yours is:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-April/021049.html
from the thread

and, if I open (which in this demonstration I suggest to open) mine, 
and click on the next message from that mine, I see again:

what opened up for me from the thread page:

https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-April/021049.html

But that is not this reply of yours, no.

I'm pasting what opens to me:

This sounds unlikely:
The map 0.1 syntax was dropped from FFmpeg three years
ago iirc.

This is at least misleading:
There are input options (which have to be placed
before -i) and output options (which have to be placed
after the filename following -i). There are input and
output options with the same name. And there are
global options where the position does not matter.

I'v also screencast this, so there be no one will be
able to say I'm lying:

BTW, I'm using:
  ffmpeg -f pulse -f x11grab -s xga -r 10 -i :0.0 Screen_`date 
+%y%m%d_%H%M%S`_`hostname`.mkv
on Debian (but it's Christian Marillat's FFmpeg)
