Is there a decent screen recorder that can use SCR? FFmpeg is hopeless #152

Hi!

I tried several times, over a large timescale, but FFMPEG is simply not suitable. It always drops frames, even if the encoding speed shown is 1+, the CPU usage is modest, and it doesn't show frames being dropped. Yet the produced video is choppy, and quite obviously missing frames. And it never gets fixed.

It can only handle small resolution videos without dropping frames like crazy.

So is there a program program, that functions well for recording that can use SCR to capture desktop and/or games?

Different codecs don't help? Usually x264 ultrafast is OK?

It's not a codec thing, ffmpeg is defective in some way. No matter how fast a codec is the resulting video.remains just as choppy. UT video is even faster than x264, but the video still had all the dropped frames. Ffmpeg can only record small videos.

Rtbufsize no help I presume?
