[split] Screen recording software

[metulburr]

30 to me is a rip off. You can use ffmpeg for free to get the same results. And if your not tech savy there are tons of free screen casting software that controls ffmpeg for you.

I agree. As I said, "...and I don't find a better alternative". Truth is, I reached out shortly after that message and asked a few of my friends in the sound business who have some cool recordings on their business sites. Both kicked back to me two names: OBS Studio and ffmpeg. They both recommended ffmpeg over OBS only if I need to manage sound input/output. I don't. So I guess I will go with OBS. I just watched about two hours of ffmpeg tutorials and praise videos on YouTube and definitely find it interesting, but OBS may be a little easier on me without having to nitpick what/when/where to record through all of those fancy ffmpeg commands. Truth is, I will likely put ffmpeg on my Linux VM so I can toy with it. It looks awesome.

I haven't tried OBS, yet. I will let you know once I take that leap. And if it is better than icecream, trust that a donation to OBS will be made.

I gotta scram, thanks again for everything.

you can use ffmpeg for sound input/output but it can be a little trickier. I use OBS Studio on Windows for streaming my games on twitch. But you can also make videos instead of streaming. I use ffmpeg on linux for creating screencasts, or how to-videos. Probably mostly to keep in touch with how to deal with ffmpeg. ffmpeg is an unwieldy beast.
