SimpleScreenRecorder

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
