SimpleScreenRecorder is a feature-rich Linux screen recording application designed for capturing programs and games. Unlike complex command-line tools like ffmpeg, it offers a straightforward Qt-based graphical interface while delivering high performance. Key features include:
- Records entire screen or specific regions
- Direct OpenGL application recording (similar to Fraps on Windows)
- Proper audio-video synchronization
- Adaptive frame rate adjustment for slower systems
- Multithreaded architecture for smooth performance
- Pause/resume functionality during recording
- Live streaming capabilities (experimental)
- Supports multiple codecs via ffmpeg libraries
The tool is particularly useful for:
- Game recording and streaming
- Creating software tutorials
- Capturing desktop demonstrations
- Recording video lectures or presentations
As an open-source tool under GPL license, it's freely available and actively maintained on GitHub.
