## Note
This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using AMD/Intel or Wayland then only monitors can be recorded and root access is required. An authentication window will show up automatically if you have a polkit agent running and pkexec installed.\
This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using AMD/Intel or Wayland then only monitors can be recorded.\
If you are using a variable refresh rate monitor on nvidia on x11 then choose to record "screen-direct-force". This will allow variable refresh rate to work when recording fullscreen applications. Note that some applications such as mpv will not work in fullscreen mode. A fix is being developed for this.\
GPU Screen Recorder only supports h264 and hevc codecs at the moment which means that webm files are not supported.\
CPU usage is much higher on wayland than on x11 when using nvidia. This is likely a nvidia driver issue. GPU Screen Recorder is still the fastest

### AMD/Intel/Wayland root permission
When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor (or when using wayland) the program needs root permission (to access KMS).\
To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible) and a GUI sudo prompt is shown to run this executable as root. The executable is called "gsr-kms-server".\
However this doesn't work if you are using the flatpak version of GPU Screen Recorder.
This password prompt wont show up if you installed GPU Screen Recorder from source or from AUR.

Preset is set to p5 for now but it should ideally be p6 or p7.
This change is needed because for certain sizes of a window (or monitor?) such as 971x780 causes encoding to freeze
when using h264 codec. This is a new(?) nvidia driver bug.
Maybe dont choose p6 or p7 again? it causes micro stutter for some users (?).
