I’m more excited about the upcoming support for VST3, but this is still welcome news. It is far easier than getting hardware encoding working with Rockchip SoCs on Linux.

The linked post is about a new Metal-based renderer for OBS Studio on MacOS. The software you linked is for Linux.
I think the point extends well beyond the specific app/OS example though, even though the article talks to macOS exclusively. For macOS and Windows there are built in tools which offer direct recording functionality. To trigger on macOS Command+Shift+5 (or launch it via QuickTime as jasonlotito noted), on Windows Win+Shift+S. Both of these utilize the same OS APIs OBS Studio uses to get the screen content, but they skip the step of needing a renderer at all.

Why not just use quicktime? Edit: I think you might have skipped reading the post. It's about OBS on MacOS. Where quicktime exists. Your suggestion seems geared toward Linux.
QuickTime cannot record system audio output without shenanigans.

Yep, if you want to do something more than screen recording, just screen recording won't work. Nor will the OP's comment.

NVIDIA has a "lower overhead" screen recorder, no? It's alt + f9 or something. AFAIK It's supposed to be optimized, because they own the stack and all. It's probably only on Windows though.

This is great, thanks!

Re: OBS Studio Gets a New Renderer
#18I wonder how this improves performance on older Intel macs with a Metal-compatible GPUs, or if it's really a M-series only improvement.

I've had a lot of issues using the QuickTime screen recorder, especially when it comes to recording from an iOS simulator for app/game development and needing to produce preview videos.

#20 > Metal takes Direct3D's object-oriented approach one step further by combining it with the more "verbal" API design common in Objective-C and Swift in an attempt to provide a more intuitive and easier API for app developers to use (and not just game developers) and to further motivate those to integrate more 3D and general GPU functionality into their apps.
