Linux has excellent tools for making screencasts (capture videos of your desktop), such as Kazam, a tool that we have already analyzed on another occasion. However, despite its name, Simple Screen Recorder is, without a doubt, the most powerful and complete, including features such as multi-thread recording (taking advantage of your multiple processors), adapting the quality and speed of the recording. on older computers, recording OpenGL applications, and a long etcetera.
Main features and functionalities
- Record OpenGL games / applications in full screen
- Keeps audio and video in sync
- Automatically lowers frame rate on slow computers
- Multi-thread application
- Lets you pause and resume a recording
- Optional audio recording
- Video upscaling
- Supports a wide variety of formats (based on libav / ffmpeg libraries)
- Allows you to preview before starting recording
- Allows you to set recording areas (a rectangle, full screen, only a space near the cursor, etc.)
- Choose the source of the audio (the sound played on the desktop, a microphone, etc.)
Installation
En Ubuntu and derivatives:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: maarten-baert / simplescreenrecorder sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder
In case you want to burn 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system:
sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib: i386
En Arch and derivatives:
yaourt -S simplecreenrecorder-git
In case you want to burn 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system:
yaourt -S lib32-simplescreenrecorder-git
Scored, installing…. Excellent. =)
Very good the truth, thanks for the suggestion, Greetings
You're welcome, thanks to you for stopping by. 🙂
hey I have a problem I do not appear to continue what ago?
Hi boss. One question: How do I select the option to lower the audio of what comes out of the speakers and not what comes in through the microphone?
I loved it ... I didn't know it and it was very practical for me.
Yes, it is very easy to use.
It looks promising, thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you very much, I was just looking for what to record with, to see how it is 😛
If this doesn't work for you, I suggest you try Kazam.
Cheers! Paul.
Thanks, it sounds interesting.
This video grabber reminds me a lot of FRAPS.
I'm starting with ffmpeg and recordmydesktop
(I use the son of mardrake and I still don't know how to use repos)
I would have to compare it with VokoScreen, for me the best Screencast tool.
So is. I personally use VokoScreen a lot. You would have to try this application that Pablo proposes.
Yes, I was also using Vokoscreen on Arch. 🙂
What I liked most about vokoscreen was the ability to include the webcam capture at the same time as the screen was recorded.
Cheers! Paul.
I completely agree with you, I also use it when I have to do video tutorials
Excellent program, there is no doubt that it boasts its name.
I always tried other programs, and there was always a problem with the audio part. This was the only one that, by default, worked perfectly. And not to mention the quality of the videos.
Thank you for making it known.
Greetings.
Very good option, for Arch users like me, it is already available within the Community repository.
It is not necessary to add any additional repository, it is already within the official Ubuntu repositories and derivatives.
At the moment, it is the easiest, simplest and most lightweight recording software to use. Fully recommended.
Greetings.
My dear friend, you can leave some information or a tutorial to know how to record applications with OpenGL in simplescreenrecorder because I am new to this program and I would like to know how to do it. I wait your answer.
Salu2
It is installed, so far so good, then I look for it in the whole pc and it is not? !! help me !
Did you try running simplecreenrecorder or something similar in a terminal?
If not, try locate simplescreenrecorder
Hug! Paul.
How do I install it, the download does not come or anything
Your post was very useful to me, thank you for sharing information
Although it may seem somewhat complicated to use at first, it is one of the best programs I have seen for recording the desktop in Linux. Very good post.
I love the show. Thank you very much, the bad thing is that the sound is very bad, my microphone is good, I bought it at fnac and it cost me € 10. It is not from the Chinese, but noise is heard in the background…. I do not know what to do. Some recompense. I use linux. THANK YOU
Excellent recording program but I have a problem it does not save the sound of my microphone otherwise without problems thanks.
Hi, I just want to record my team
that noobs xD did not explain anything
Hello thank you very much
for the very good post (Y)
Hello, how do I record games without lag or anything like that, please say thank you very much
Hello, a question about In case you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system: does it work on a 32-bit system? since it records it at 32 bits
You made a mess with the 32-bit and 64-bit.
What you record will work, remember that it is a video and that is agnostic to the operating system, you can play it on any PC, be it 32 or 64 bits.
Good tutorial, good program
I just installed it on my LINUXMINT from the console, and after configuring the audio, I tried it and the result is excellent, a great program and it will be extremely useful to me.
Thanks for the input
Has anyone managed to install it on debian? in my case Jessie, greetings
