Shows statistics during recording (file size, bit rate, total recording time, actual frame rate. Pause and resume recording at any time (either by clicking a button or by pressing a hotkey). įully 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.Reduces the video frame rate if your computer is too slow (rather than using up all your RAM like VLC does). Synchronizes audio and video properly (a common issue with VLC and ffmpeg/avconv). Records the entire screen or part of it, or records OpenGL applications directly (similar to Fraps on Windows). It's 'simple' in the sense that it's easier to use than ffmpeg/avconv or VLC, because it has a straightforward user interface. My original goal was to create a program that was just really simple to use, but as I was writing it I started adding more and more features, and the result is actually a pretty powerful program.

There were already a few programs that could do this, but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, so I created my own. SimpleScreenRecorder is a Linux program that I've created to record programs and games.
