There's no other desktop recorder that even comes close to this quality, AND, I think this would be a great addition to the default Linuxmint.

As it is now, (the removed on his site seems broken), you'll have to ADD the ppa:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder
# if you want to record 32-bit OpenGL applications on a 64-bit system:
sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder-lib:i386

...which is ok, but ... ?

Anyway, just a small suggestion.

SimpleScreenRecorder is in the repositories of Ubuntu 17.04 and Debian testing (that's where Ubuntu got it). It is likely that the package will thus be available in the package base repositories that Linux Mint 19 and LMDE 3 will use. In the mean time users that want it can add the PPA (on Linux Mint) or add Debian testing (on LMDE; instructions viewtopic.php?t=212502). It's a specialist tool, not something most users would use and as such hard to jusitfy taking time away from other tasks to start maintaining this package specifically for Linux Mint. Certainly when with a few clicks you can already install it so easily.
