Description : Simple Screen Recorder
Simple Screen Recorder is, despite its name, an actually quite complex
piece of software. The name reflects the fact that it is simple to use
unlike many other free screen recording applications available. It can
be easily configured to start recording from an intuitive wizard-like
interface. To perform an X11 recording, all it takes is selecting an
area on the root window with the mouse, choosing an output file and
pressing record, either by using the mouse or using a hotkey.
Its complexity becomes apparent in its powerful features. It allows one
to record X11 windows and fullscreen OpenGL applications including sound
supporting both ALSA, PulseAudio and JACK. It uses libavformat to encode
the recorded material into a variety of video formats. Scaling the recorded
video is possible as well as configuring the encoding quality for the codec
chosen directly from the user interface.
I have chosen to package Simple Screen Recorder because I haven't found
any other screen recorder that is up to par with ssr both in its easy
to use as well as features provided.
