I have a feature request, can you provide support for the popup menu gadget ? (WINDOW_PopupGadget tag) Beside other things it would be usefull for snapshot the window
Tried the 2.2 version today, from the GUI and the CLI. It works nice, but the colors on my system are wrong. All the blue colors become brown. Tried both AVI and MKV.
I use the latest Radeon 2.x drivers and I have a resolution 1920x1200. I used the MUIMplayer v1.0 by Fabien Coeurjoly to playback the file.
Thank you guys for you hard work on that.
Update: When I converted it with ffmpeg to mp4, the colors where just fine. So I guess is a problem with play back of the specified codec.
Any report of wrong colours that fails to mention what the pixel format of the screen was is a waste of my time and yours.
Other useful data would be whether you are using a CPU with altivec and if so whether SRec still produces wrong colours with altivec optimisations disabled.
Also container format is just that, a container for the video data. The video encoding is what decides how the video data is encoded and there is only one choice (ZMBV).

If ffmpeg managed to correctly re-encode then the problem was probably with MUIMPlayer. Possibly because it uses an older libavcodec version or it has a bug in its display code...
Nevermind for all the above. Just keep up the good work. As much as there is a way to record the screen, and the convert it to something else, everything is great.
I just uploaded a really small capture video at YouTube, that records my desktop at 1280x800@25fps and the CPU is only at 64% used, which is great.
Great. The "Jump to screen" option resolves my issue with recording on screens other than Workbench. However, using the jumpscreen option or the POPKEY key combination doesn't pop the screen that SRec opens on to the front. That can leave the user confused and thinking something went wrong plus the minor inconvenience of paging through screens to get to the SRec window. If you disagree, could you add an option in the prefs so the user can decide if the screen that SRec opens on will be brought to the front?

@salass00 You've made great improvements to SRec but I have an additional suggestion:
SRec shows the POPKEY in the window dragbar but the text is truncated which makes putting that info there useless. Could you increase the size of the window so that the POPKEY info in the window dragbar is completely visible or alternatively move the POPKEY info to a read-only string gadget at the bottom of the window??

I'll see what I can do regarding the popkey issue. I don't want to make the window artificially wider if I can avoid it but it would be nice if all the special key combinations were visible somewhere like in a separate tab and even better if they could be changed easily from the GUI itself.

It looks like they might fit in the "Misc" Tab. The Hot Key might fit in the window drag bar if you eliminate the "Hot Key" label like "SRec: <ctrl alt r>" and make the window a tiny bit wider.
I D/L compiled and tested SRec and SRec is bringing the screen it opens on to the front now. Great work. Thanks.

Time permitted another idea for complete the GUI and make it more and more nicely, support for the AISS icons in menu !
Ideally scalable at 16*16 by using:
IA_Scalable, TRUE, IA_Width, 16, IA_Height, 16,
If he decides to add them and then scale them please use the MenuImageSize variable that many AEon programs are adopting to allow users to globally configure the size of icons in menus.
Recording at 1920x1080 at 10 fps with only about 50% CPU showing very nice indeed. Smooth as well no mouse glitches that tend to make free hand work whilst reording difficult.
