It is recommended to save the video to a SSD because of the large file size, which a slow HDD might not be fast enough to handle. It is recommended to save the video to a SSD because of the large file size, which a slow HDD might not be fast enough to handle.\
Using NvFBC (recording the monitor/screen) is not faster than not using NvFBC (recording a single window) with gpu screen recorder, in fact it might be a tiny bit slower.

Getting the texture of a window when using a compositor is an nvidia specific limitation. When gpu-screen-recorder supports other gpus then this can be ignored.

Quickly changing workspace and back while recording under i3 breaks the screen recorder. i3 probably unmaps windows in other workspaces. Quickly changing workspace and back while recording under i3 breaks the screen recorder. i3 probably unmaps windows in other workspaces.
Remove hw_get_frame as it creates a new cuda device ptr which we dont use!
