Title: Desktop recording
Post by: mrbrklyn on 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

What about simplescreenrecorder? It's in the repos. I suppose it wraps ffmpeg recording functionality, so you could also try it

Hi

I think I said that  SSR just runs and does nothing.  POOOF off the terminal with no visible output.

I thought ssr could be something else.
Sounds strange, how do you run it? Always worked fine for me

Bonjour,
Type simplescreenrecorder.

I've been happily using it for my YouTube videos for years:
