--- Comment #3 from Hector Martin <mar...@marcan.st> --- I am in fact (150%), but the bad quality looks like compression artifacts, so it shouldn't be related to scaling/resolution, but rather a codec issue. It also happens when recording the full screen. @Noah yes, with fine detail like lots of text (especially colored) it falls apart. Looking at the printed config, `rc_end_usage` is 0 which means VBR, which is the same problem as libx264: you are telling the decoder to target a specific bitrate regardless of picture complexity, so if things get too complex, the whole thing becomes a blockfest since it's physically impossible to encode in that few bits. Screen recording *really* needs constant quality mode to be useful for offline recording (not streaming where you have constraints). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
