Output video lagging when recording a 2k/4k video screen - can I force 1080p output video?
Hi,
First let me thank you for your amazing work. I've been using vokoscreen and vokoscreenNG for some time now and it's been fulfilling all my needs until I bought myself a new 4k screen and started recording screen casts with it. The output video is lagging and sometimes, vokoscreenNG even crashes. Instead of decreasing the resolution on my screen, I'd like to know if there is a way to make vokoscreenNG to record a 1080ps video out of my 2k/4k screen? I'm even willing to modify a conf file by hand if needed, no problem.
Have a great day. Thanks for your work!
I'm assuming you're using and needing the default settings. In this case there is no other option than to reduce the resolution of the screen. Second option would be a powerful computer.
Thanks for the quick answer. Do you think you could implement the choice of the output resolution <= screen resolution in a later release?
Thanks for your great work.
Best regards,
That's hard to answer. I appreciate 5 to 10 hours of work This contains: Variable down-scaling of the full screen Integration into the GUI Code integration here on github Testing usability bug fixing
Now you have to decide.
How many users will actually benefit from that feature? Especially as I hope this feature would decrease the computation needed to record the screen hence avoid lagging (which is mainly up to where you choose to apply the decrease of the resolution in the workflow. Too late and it will not decrease the CPU usage but merely decrease the size of the output file).
That will be very few. See https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam Line: Primary display resolution
But these users don't need this function because they have a powerful PC.
I also don't want to add a function that nobody uses.
The easiest thing is to change the resolution to record.
