Capture specifc monitor

[Phil Harper]

Hi Roger

I've got two monitors set up at 720x576 @50hz, do you know if there's a variable you can set for screen-capture-recorder to capture a specfic monitor please?

Many thanks,

Phil.

You can specify the coordinates but that's it AFAIK. The thought was you could enumerate the monitors on you own and get their coordinates, pass that in, I guess...

Thanks Roger, is that just a simple case of setting which monitor was primary and screen-capture-recorder would only capture from the primary display?

I wasn't sure if ffmpeg (v5) had the ability to override this, as the co-ordinates variable is only for the single primary display.
Having difficulty finding an enumerator variable example for ffmpeg.

[Roger Pack]

Yeah usually you'd set up the coords with some other prog before running ffmpeg.  Funding welcome :)

Hi Roger

Open to funding this feature in screen-capture-recorder, it's a pita trying to get it to work without defaulting a desktop 😩.
gdi grab is problematic and ddagrab I've had mixed results too.

Many thanks, Phil.

[Roger Pack]

OK so you want a parameter "desktop_number" that can be 1,2,3,4 etc?  Maybe $250

Hi Roger

Please, and that sounds reasonable if possible.
It needs to be compatible with Windows 7 too.

Best regards,

Phil.

Hi Roger

If this is possible can you possibly deliver this feature in Q1 next year please?

Best regards,

Phil.

Hi Roger

As discussed, if this can be acompished using the latest ffmpeg v6, I'm open to issuing a bounty for this.
An alternative would be the implementation of wasapi, as ddagrab has sync issues when using dshow audio filters.

Best regards,

Phil.

If what Phil means by issuing a bounty, he's willing to contribute, I can't offer much but could throw in $50 USD (exchange rate is horrible right now as I am in Canada), if this would help. I really like the program and would like to contribute if it would be helpful financially. I know it's not much but happy to oblige!
