+This software works only on x11.\
If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor then choose to record "screen-direct". This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this.\
For screen capture to work with PRIME (laptops with a nvidia gpu), you must set the primary GPU to use your dedicated nvidia graphics card. You can do this by selecting "NVIDIA (Performance Mode) in nvidia settings:\

# How to use
Run `scripts/interactive.sh` or run gpu-screen-recorder directly, for example: `gpu-screen-recorder -w $(xdotool selectwindow) -c mp4 -f 60 -a "$(pactl get-default-sink).monitor" -o test_video.mp4` then stop the screen recorder with Ctrl+C, which will also save the recording. You can change -w to -w screen if you want to record all monitors or if you want to record a specific monitor then you can use -w monitor-name, for example -w HDMI-0 (use xrandr command to find the name of your monitor. The name can also be found in your desktop environments display settings).\
