Wcap: Simple and efficient screen recording utility for Windows

The reason I wrote wcap to use for myself is because Game Bar recording is super unreliable for me. I have 144Hz monitor but it records with some weird framerate, typically 36, sometimes some crazy fraction like 36.86 fps. I often want to get every single 144Hz frame out to analyze/see differences. It used to be that it also abruptly stops recording without any indication why, maybe that's improved now, but that is what I remember when I used it.

I think it also does not allow recording desktop or windows explorer. Sometimes I want to record a video of "here's how to do thing X in Windows itself" and send to somebody.

Additionally I wanted automatic resize to smaller (1080p) video when recording higher resolutions. Sure you can do that in post-processing, but that's extra tools & time.

Also every time I press Win+G after not using a while, it is a bit overwhelming and confusing to see all those buttons and signing into your "xbox social" - all I want is local video not some friends list.

At first glance, the functionality here is much slimmer than OBS, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Recently at work I found myself having to create a guide showing many configuration steps on Windows. For this task, I installed OBS, set my screen up as the video input, and proceeded to record everything I needed to. Through this activity, I thought that OBS had way more functionality than I needed for such a simple task. I was also surprised that my employer didn't scrutinize me more for installing software that's capable of streaming desktop/webcam video and application/microphone audio from this corporate workstation to some random server on the internet. For my application, something like Wcap would have been a better fit.

Wcap is better to compare with screen recorders such Wondershare DemoCreator or Camtasia Studio, where last two often used by newbie - there are a lot of videos with watermarks of shareware/trial Wondershare DemoCreator and Camtasia Studio .
