Did you by any chance tried to follow the build instructions[1] before trying to build it? - [1] - https://github.com/akon47/ScreenRecorder#-build
Oh you misunderstand I wasn't building it. I was downloading the package installer. There's an MSI link on the GitHub
Got it. If the installer doesn't work, try building it yourself :)

I think that part is assumed as Gnome/Linux and MacOSX have it built in?
I'm not sure Gnome desktop has one built in, but i'm sure most other desktop environments don't.
KDE seems to have a choice of 3 programs for that on the project, but at least on my Debian they weren't installed by default with the minimum KDE. Maybe they come in the full installation.

In the README: "Windows 10 or newer"
To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.
Don't know why you're being downvoted, I build .NET code in Visual Studio on Windows 10 and execute it on my Raspberry Pi frequently. .NET is certainly not a Windows-only technology.

#65What I would love would be something that would work in a dashcam mode, constantly storing the preceding n minutes with the option to save parts to file. Useful for example for those times I am testing/debugging a gui app and I trigger a bug but cannot later reproduce.

#66Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism. Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

MacOS does have this ability via QuickTime, but I wish I could find something that records my screen + audio output. There is are some hacky ways to do this on MacOS, but I haven't found anything super reliable yet. Though, I believe this is more or less intentional by Apple.

The built-in Screenshot.app on macOS can record the screen with audio.

#68Windows has a built in Video Compression optimized for Screen Cast / Screen Capture (See [Windows Media Video Screen][1]).
It yields much better results than x264 for this task.
It is used by [FastStone Capture][2].
I wish modern codecs had this as well (A mode optimized for screen casting).

#69In Debian there is Simple Screen Recorder: apt install simplescreenrecorder
I've come to really like peek since it allows to select the rectangle you want to record with minimal interaction. It is also in the Debian repos.
I'm really impressed by Kooha:
https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha
It allows recording a rectangle/section of the screen, supports Wayland and records to webm by default - which most(?) browsers can play directly.
It's made it trivial to record short how-to videos for helping illustrate how to do something with a web app, or to illustrate visual bugs.

I've used https://www.realartists.com/retroclip/ on macOS for years and highly recommend. I paid $4.99 when it was released, but it looks like it's available for free now.
