<summary>A shadowplay-like screen recorder for Linux. The fastest screen recorder for Linux</summary>
<project_license>GPL-3.0</project_license>
<description>
<p>
This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by recording a monitor using the GPU only, similar to shadowplay on windows. This is the fastest screen recording tool for Linux. This screen recorder works on X11 and Wayland on AMD, Intel and NVIDIA.
</p>
<p>
This screen recorder can be used for recording your desktop offline, for live streaming and for nvidia-like instant replay, where only the last few minutes are saved. Replay data is stored in RAM, not disk.
</p>
<p>Supported video codecs:</p>
<ul>
<li>H264 (default)</li>
<li>HEVC (Optionally with HDR)</li>
<li>AV1 (Optionally with HDR. Not currently supported on NVIDIA if you use GPU Screen Recorder flatpak)</li>
<li>VP8</li>
<li>VP9</li>
</ul>
<p>Supported audio codecs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Opus (default)</li>
<li>AAC</li>
</ul>
<p>Supported image formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>JPEG</li>
<li>PNG</li>
</ul>
<p>
At the moment the program comes with two different UIs. A gtk based one and a new experimental ShadowPlay-like fullscreen overlay UI. The gtk based UI will be removed in the future.
You can switch to the new UI by clicking on "Try out the new UI" and then after that is done press Left Alt+Z to open it.
</p>
<p>AV1 is currently not supported in the flatpak for Nvidia since GPU Screen Recorder uses an older ffmpeg version to support older Nvidia cards. Install GPU Screen Recorder from source or from AUR if you want to use AV1 on Nvidia.</p>
<p>For more information visit the GPU Screen Recorder homepage.</p>
<p>GPU Screen Recorder flatpak can install files in $HOME/.local/share/gpu-screen-recorder. If you want to uninstall GPU Screen Recorder then you will have to remove this directory manually.</p>
<p>If you tried out the new UI then a systemd service was added to ~/.local/share/systemd/user/gpu-screen-recorder-ui.service. If you want to uninstall GPU Screen Recorder then you will have to remove this file.</p>
