Record at Native Resolution

[excal69]

My android phone is 1080x2400 natively, but for some reason scrcpy when recording it records on 864x1920 resolution. How can i make it record a video on native resolution

Probably because your device encoder could not encode at the native screen resolution. Look at the output in the console on start (and see --no-downsize-on-error).

it's probably an encoder, my phone is redmi note 11, what encoder should i make it use instead? idk what it is using currently

[rom1v]

You can list your "encoders" with --list-encoders (see https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/video.md#codec).

But if your hardware encoder could not encode above 1920, you will not be able to capture your screen at 1080x2400.

thank you will try

Thank you very much! it is now recording on native resolution, the OMX.qcom.video.encoder.avc was bugging out

is this something of concern? WARN: [FFmpeg] track 1: codec frame size is not set

[excal69]

Also, is there a way to make recording performance as fast as possible? what if i do --no-display will that even do anything

Nope, it is a known warning related to muxing opus without knowing the frame size in advance (but Android does not give it explicitly).

Also, is there a way to make recording performance as fast as possible?

Do you experience any performance issue? It should record every frame produced by the device. If it is not the case, then your hardware encoder is not efficient enough.

Just wanted to limit FPS to 30 and somehow make frames very smooth. Without smoothing 30fps looks stuttery sometimes

but my phone can record at 60fps without problem

In the scrcpy window, or when you play the recorded file (or both)? Over USB or Wifi?

[excal69]

When i play recorded file, USB

[excal69]

Do i really have to record at 60fps for 30fps in video editing software to look smooth? Maybe it's possible while recording with scrcpy no?

My issue is that, Vegas Pro 20 doesn't like Opus and OMX encoders, Is there a way to install more encoders on my android device, or does scrcpy have a ffmpeg integrated so i can re-encode my recordings?

The video encoders use an hardware encoder. You can't change it (if it is not efficient enough), it depends on the device (typically high-end devices have better encoders).

does scrcpy have a ffmpeg integrated so i can re-encode my recordings?

You can reencode with ffmpeg on your computer what you recorded with scrcpy.
