@@ -10,23 +10,6 @@ where only the last few minutes are saved. More info at [GPU Screen Recorder](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/). -## Note -This software works on x11 and wayland. Hotkeys are also not supported on wayland (wayland doesn't really support this properly yet). Use X11 if you want a proper desktop experience in general. -### TEMPORARY ISSUES -1) Videos are in variable framerate format. Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player. You can try saving the video into a .mkv file instead as some software may have better support for .mkv files (such as kdenlive). You can use the "-fm cfr" option to to use constant framerate mode. -### AMD/Intel/Wayland root permission -When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor (or when using wayland) the program needs root permission (to access KMS). -This is safe in GPU Screen Recorder as the part that needs root access has been moved to its own small program that only does one thing. -For you as a user this only means that if you installed GPU Screen Recorder as a flatpak then a prompt asking for root password will show up when you start recording. -Note that this only applies to when recording a monitor. On Wayland you can use the desktop portal capture option to record a monitor without root permission. -# Performance -On a system with a i5 4690k CPU and a GTX 1080 GPU:\ -When recording Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild at 4k, fps drops from 30 to 7 when using OBS Studio + nvenc, however when using this screen recorder the fps remains at 30.\ -When recording GTA V at 4k on highest settings, fps drops from 60 to 23 when using obs-nvfbc + nvenc, however when using this screen recorder the fps only drops to 58. The quality is also much better when using gpu-screen-recorder.\ -It is recommended to save the video to a SSD because of the large file size, which a slow HDD might not be fast enough to handle. -## Note about optimal performance on NVIDIA -NVIDIA driver has a "feature" (read: bug) where it will downclock memory transfer rate when a program uses cuda (or nvenc, which uses cuda), such as GPU Screen Recorder. See https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/ for more information and how to overcome this. - ## Installation This program depends on [GPU Screen Recorder](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/) which needs to be installed first.\ Run `sudo ./install.sh` or if you are running Arch Linux, then you can find gpu screen recorder gtk on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-gtk-git (`yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-gtk-git`).\ |
