Desktop recording 21 July 2024, 17:12:51 I'm trying to find a desktop recorder. I tried vlc, but it is not just total chaos, and non-dependable, but it also creates huge files. I was recommended ssr (or ssrt?)It has a man page that is not understandable and when you start it, it does nothing. I just want to make a video of a bug in a video game, and not spend two weeks mastering desktop recording. I mastered, VI, EMAC, GCC, Make.... and Bash and Korn and the Gimp... I am done becoming an expert in ever changing software.Someone suggested to load OBS and use SSR through it. I did and that was not an option in OBS. I did get it to start wroking following an online tutorial, but the output was a black screen. I selected a windows capture for the running program (called crossfire). I think it silently didn't like the coden maybe?Any suggestions? This is on artix with winmaker
