What are the relative advantages of this project compared to FFmpeg? #282

Open xkungxfu opened 10 months ago

xkungxfu commented 10 months ago

Why do we need another library or project to implement screen recording if FFmpeg itself can already do it, both in command line execution and with support for various parameters such as recording region, quality, output directory, etc.?

What are the necessary reasons or advantages of using this project or other projects that rely on FFmpeg for screen recording?

I'm a beginner in the field of video, so please forgive my naive question.

You know ffmpeg and the command line and consider yourself a beginner?

Another user asked by email this morning where the shortcut is in the Windows menu. He selected the startup folder for the shortcut during installation and now cannot find vokoscreenNG in the Windows menu.

I get the crisis

surely very very newbie. Now, I can't build this repo on windows with qt. I installed gstreamer and I modified my PRO file:

GStreamerDir=$$(GSTREAMER_1_0_ROOT_MINGW_X86_64)

GStreamerDir="I:\CXXTools\gstreamer\1.0\mingw_x86_64"

message("[vokoscreenNG] ------------------------------") message($${GStreamerDir}) message("[vokoscreenNG] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++")

INCLUDEPATH += $${GStreamerDir}\include\gstreamer-1.0

INCLUDEPATH += $${GStreamerDir}\include\glib-2.0 INCLUDEPATH += $${GStreamerDir}\lib\glib-2.0\include INCLUDEPATH += $${GStreamerDir}\include


LIBS += -L$${GStreamerDir}\bin
LIBS += -L$${GStreamerDir}\lib\gstreamer-1.0
LIBS += -L$${GStreamerDir}\lib
LIBS += -llibgstreamer-1.0
LIBS += -llibgstvideo-1.0
LIBS += -llibgstpbutils-1.0

LIBS += -llibglib-2.0
LIBS += -llibgobject-2.0
LIBS += -llibbz2

attention: I changed llibgstreamer-1.0-0 to llibgstreamer-1.0 and llibglib-2.0-0 to llibglib-2.0

eventhough I can't build it successfully.. a lot of errors reported .

so, can I use FFMPEG in command line and get same screen result with this repo?
