I was called a loser twice on a lemmy.ml post, by a lemmygrad.ml user, after I pointed out I suffer from mental disorders to justify my comments or my behaviour, and the mod (worldnews, not politics) didn't do anything about it. So fuck .ml and fuck tankies/fascists, including developers.
No, what I meant was to try recording video with ffmpeg, then open another terminal and record audio with ffmpeg. Does the video look ok when recorded like this?
Well, surprisingly, it works. Video runs smoothly, and I can merge the separate audio file to it witk Kdenlive. So, I guess the problem is solved. But I don't understand why it works this way and not with a single command in one terminal.
Crazy idea, but what happens if you record audio and video with different ffmpeg processes?
I also tried that with the -map parameter, if that's what you mean. Same outcome.
Also, you mentioned this works better with other software — any idea if those settings are drastically different than your ffmpeg settings?
SimpleScreenRecorder is very basic, but it works well, except for some random dropped frames here and there. No big deal, but sometimes it's noticeable enough for me to feel uneasy. 1920x1080, 60 fps, PulseAudio, H.264 video codec, ultrafast preset (skipping frames) and vorbis audio codec at 128 kbps. Just that.
Depending exclusively on the codecs I use, htop shows a CPU usage of 90-100% or 10-20%. So, I use those that don't require a huge CPU usage. Memory and Swap are not affected, as far as I know. But despite those circumstances, the outcome is the same. Recording with no sound = smoothness, 60 fps, recording with sound = choppiness, 10 fp5s.
Something I also noticed is that it also happens before I open Doom 2, so it doesn't matter whether I'm playing or not. Even with just the terminal and the file manager open.
