+# This project is archived, it's no longer under development. As the original developer, the work of maintaining and updating this program takes too much of my time, which I was giving for free, and I am no longer interested in working with things like ffmpeg/wayland/GNOME's screencaster or solving the issues related to them or why they don't work.

+A simple desktop recorder for Linux systems. Built using Python, GTK+ 3 and ffmpeg. It supports recording audio and video on almost all Linux interfaces. Also, Green Recorder is the **first desktop program to support Wayland display server on GNOME session**.
 
-The following formats are currently supported: **mkv**, **avi**, **mp4**, **wmv** and **nut** (And only WebM for Wayland's GNOME session). You can stop the recording process easily by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Stop Record". Or middle-clicking the recording icon in the notifications area (but doesn't work on all interfaces).
+The following formats are currently supported: **mkv**, **avi**, **mp4**, **wmv**, **gif** and **nut** (And only WebM for Wayland's GNOME session). You can stop the recording process easily by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Stop Record". Or middle-clicking the recording icon in the notifications area (but doesn't work on all interfaces).
 
-Green recorder uses the default audio device you have to record. So if you want to change the audio input source, you just need to change it from the system-side (using **pavucontrol** for example).
+You can choose the audio input source you want from the list. You can also set the default values you want by simply changing them in the interface, and the program will save them for you for the next time you open it.
 
 ### How it works?
 
@@ -18,9 +20,7 @@ For Xorg, it uses ffmpeg only for both audio and video.
 
 By default, On Wayland only, Green Recorder uses the V8 encoder instead of the default V9 encoder in GNOME Shell because of the CPU & RAM consumption issue with V9. Which - now - should also give you better performance. On Xorg, each format uses its own default encoder.

+Also, for GIF format, Green Recorder first records the required video as a raw video. And then it generated the GIF image from the raw video. In this way, you'll get an optimized GIF image size which is at least 10x better than the normal ffmpeg recording.

-You can grab the Debian packages directly from the PPA itself and install it on any Debian distribution. You mainly need the "green-recorder" package and "python-pydbus". Other dependancies (like ffmpeg) are probably in Debian repositories: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mhsabbagh/greenproject/ubuntu/pool/main/

-Unfortunately, Fedora removed our Copr repo because of it's depending on ffmpeg without any notification or message. Users who would like to use Green Recorder on Fedora should try the steps under "Other Distributions" section below.

-You may try building the .rpm package locally using the .spec file we provide. Note: if you installed Green Recorder from the Copr repository before it was removed, you should remove it and disable that Copr and install it from source code.
