Quickly changing workspace and back while recording under i3 breaks the screen recorder. i3 probably unmaps windows in other workspaces.
See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/EncodingForStreamingSites for optimizing streaming.
Look at VK_EXT_external_memory_dma_buf.
-Allow setting a different output resolution than the input resolution.
Use mov+faststart.
Allow recording all monitors/selected monitor without nvfbc by recording the compositor proxy window and only recording the part that matches the monitor(s).
Allow recording a region by recording the compositor proxy window / nvfbc window and copying part of it.

Disable flipping on nvidia? this might fix some stuttering issues on some setups. See NvCtrlGetAttribute/NvCtrlSetAttributeAndGetStatus NV_CTRL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-settings/blob/d5f022976368cbceb2f20b838ddb0bf992f0cfb9/src/gtk%2B-2.x/ctkopengl.c.
Replays seem to have some issues with audio/video. Why?
Cleanup unused gl/egl functions, macro, etc.
-Add option to disable overlapping of replays (the old behavior kinda. Remove the whole replay buffer data after saving when doing this).
Set audio track name to audio device name (if not merge of multiple audio devices).
Add support for webcam, but only really for amd/intel because amd/intel can get drm fd access to webcam, nvidia cant. This allows us to create an opengl texture directly from the webcam fd for optimal performance.
Reverse engineer nvapi so we can disable "force p2 state" on linux too (nvapi profile api with the settings id 0x50166c5e).

Use SRC_W and SRC_H for screen plane instead of crtc_w and crtc_h.
-Make it possible to select which /dev/dri/card* to use, but that requires opengl to also use the same card. Not sure if that is possible for amd, intel and nvidia without using vulkan instead.

Test if p2 state can be worked around by using pure nvenc api and overwriting cuInit/cuCtxCreate* to not do anything. Cuda might be loaded when using nvenc but it might not be used, with certain record options? (such as h264 p5).
nvenc uses cuda when using b frames and rgb->yuv conversion, so convert the image ourselves instead.-

Flac is disabled because the frame sizes are too large which causes big audio/video desync.
-Add 10-bit capture option. This is good because it reduces banding and quality in very dark areas while reducing the file size compared to doing the same thing with 8-bits.

Enable b-frames.
Support vfr matching games exact fps all the time. On x11 use damage tracking, on wayland? maybe there is drm plane damage tracking. But that may not be accurate as the compositor may update it every monitor hz anyways. On wayland maybe only support it for desktop portal + pipewire capture.

+Support recording/replay/livestreaming at the same time by allowing commands to be run on an existing gpu screen recorder instance.
+
+Test if `xrandr --output DP-1 --scale 1.5` captures correct size on nvidia.
+
+Fix cursor position and scale when scaling x11 display.
+
+Support surround audio in application audio recording. Right now only stereo and mono sound is supported.
+
+Support application audio recording without pulseaudio combined sink.
+
+Support transposing (rotating) with vaapi. This isn't supported on many devices with rgb buffer, but its supported with nv12 buffer (on intel at least).
+
+Cleanup pipewire_audio.c (proper error handling and memory cleanup of proxies).
+
+Hide application audio module-null-sink by using sink_properties=media.class="Audio/Sink/Internal".
+
+Improve software encoding performance.
+
+Add option to record audio from the recorded window only.
+
+Add option to automatically select best video codec available. Add -k best, -k best_10bit and -k best_hdr.
+
+Use wayland color management protocol when it's available: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14.
+
+Use different exit codes for different errors. Use one for invalid -w option, another one for invalid -a option for audio devices, etc. This is to make UI error reporting better.

+Ffmpeg fixed black bars in videos on amd when using hevc and when recording at some resolutions, such as 1080p:

+ https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/d0facac679faf45d3356dff2e2cb382580d7a521
+ Disable gpu screen recorder black bar handling when using hevc on amd when the libavcodec version is the one that comes after those commits.
+ Also consider the mesa version, to see if the gpu supports this.
+ The version is libavcodec >= 61.28.100
+
+Use opengl compute shader instead of graphics shader. This might allow for better performance when games are using 100% of graphics unit which might fix issue with 100% gpu usage causing gpu screen recorder to run slow when not using vaapi to convert rgb to nv12(?).
+
+Always disable prime run/dri prime and list all monitors to record from from all cards.
+ Do this instead of adding an option to choose which gpu to use.
+ On X11 the primary gpu will always have the framebuffer for all monitors combined.
+ Use randr to list all monitors and always record and encode with the primary gpu.
+ On Wayland each gpu will have its own list of monitors with framebuffers.
+ Iterate through all cards with drm and list all monitors with associated framebuffers and when choosing a monitor to record
+ automatically use the associated gpu card.
+
+Allow flv av1 if recent ffmpeg version and streaming to youtube (and twitch?) and for custom services.
+Use explicit sync in pipewire video code: https://docs.pipewire.org/page_dma_buf.html.
+
+Support vaapi rotation. Support for it is added in mesa here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/32919.

+Replay (and recording?) fails to save properly sometimes (especially for long videos). This is noticable with mp4 files since they get corrupt and become unplayable.
+ The entire video does seem to get saved (it's a large video file) and it seems to have the correct headers but it's not playable.
+
+Make it possible to save a shorter replay clip remotely. Maybe implement ipc first, to then also allow starting recording/stream while a replay is running.
+
+Add an option to pass http headers when streaming. Some streaming services require streaming keys to be passed in a http header instead of in the url as a parameter.
+
+When adding vulkan video support add VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_TUNING_MODE_LOW_LATENCY_KHR.
+
+Implement screenshot without invoking opengl (which is slow to start on some systems).
+
+Automatically use desktop portal on wayland when hdr is enabled (or night light) by checking if kms hdr metadata exists, if hdr video codec is not used.
+ Or maybe do this in the ui?
+
+Detect if cached portal session token is no longer valid (this can happen if the user switches to another wayland compositor).
+
+Support reconnecting (and setting things up again) if the audio server is restarted (for both device recording and app recording).
+
+Find out how nvidia-smi fixes nvenc not working on opensuse and do that ourselves instead of relying on nvidia-smi that is not always installed.
+
+Pulseaudio code: add "running" variable to loops to allow stopping the running code when quitting.
+
+Scale screenshot frame libswscale or implement lanczos shader for improved scaline for video as well.
