  Description     : a simple program to record screencasts

A simple program to record programs and games. It is intended to be simple to use, but has a lot of features.

 * Graphical user interface (Qt-based).
 * Faster than VLC and ffmpeg/avconv.
 * Records the entire screen or part of it, or records OpenGL applications directly (similar to Fraps on Windows).
 * Synchronizes audio and video properly (a common issue with VLC and ffmpeg/avconv).
 * Reduces the video frame rate if your computer is too slow (rather than using up all your RAM like VLC does).
 * Fully multithreaded: small delays in any of the components will never block the other components, resulting is smoother video and better performance on computers with multiple processors.
 * Pause and resume recording at any time (either by clicking a button or by pressing a hotkey).
 * Shows statistics during recording (file size, bit rate, total recording time, actual frame rate, ...).
 * Can show a preview during recording, so you don't waste time recording something only to figure out afterwards that some setting was wrong.
 * Uses libav/ffmpeg libraries for encoding, so it supports many different codecs and file formats (adding more is trivial).
 * Can also do live streaming (experimental).
 * Sensible default settings: no need to change anything if you don't want to.
 * Tooltips for almost everything: no need to read the documentation to find out what something does.
