wow it really is strange

a few things to rule out first:

Recently there have been quite a few updates to the kernels of some distros due to vulnerabilities that were discovered so it would be worthwhile to also see if there are no pending updates for the system
Try to update simplescreen, (the current version is 0.4.4, the easiest way to get it is to compile it directly from here on github, it's easy and the instructions on how to do it are at the bottom of the page). repository). [Some people seem to have problems with the version of Snap on some distributions]
Try to use the different recording modes in rectangle or window or full screen mode (if you use rectangle mode make sure you are not capturing empty areas or going off screen especially on multi-monitor machines)
adjust the capture fps, especially if they are very high, try lower settings like 60/50-30 (or less) fps. -it is rare but especially if you have used custom settings first try the default settings, (MKV format with h.264 codec). ratio 23-24.
if the problem persists it may be a conflict with the linux window composer, try changing it to X11 mode or disable the composer effects in the linux options. in addition try using another desktop such as KDE plasma or gnome, in case it is a cinammon problem that is not solved by disabling the effects of the screen composer (if it were the problem you would have to notify the cinammon team or wait for a next update)
[although it seems to me that this is not the case] if it only happens with firefox (try another browser or disable extensions or windows that are not necessary) - Some games and streaming pages like netflix have DRM's to prevent video from being captured (I don't know if it affects all systems or just to windows and android).

_weird but not least: If you are using an additional or external display, it is firmly connected (especially on multi-monitor rigs Simplescreen is configured to auto switch input source if signal is lost)

These are first instructions for common failures, if it still persists, let us know to see what we can do within our reach. also check if the SSR log (text that appears in the recording window does not show you any failure or error log)

Hi everyone,

I'm on Linux Mint Uma 20.3. I tested all possibilities with same issues (blinking, 'shearing'). It's seem coming from NVIDIA videocard. You don't have to try to change preferences and options in the Linux nvidia X Server Settings like 'Allow Flipping' or not, it doesn't change anything.

I've tested OBS Studio with x264 setting, unfortunately same problem appears (blinking and shearing).

If someone has an idea... it's welcome. Thanks Regards mlig
