Install instructions

Install

Download the installer and run it.  Download the application as well. 

You can select an existing copy of ffmpeg if you have it.  If not, just click the "Run" button and the installer will copy ffmpeg the following folder:

    %appdata%\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Screen Recorder

A custom ffmpeg_wrapper and a python dll file that allows for a cleaner way to shut down ffmpeg in Windows is also copied.  This could take a few seconds.  The ffmpeg.exe file is about 70MB of additional data that is copied to your hard drive.  Everything else is small.  The installer is 115MB because the GUI itself takes up around 40MB.  This is why you should probably get rid of the installer once you're done with it.

Recording your screen

Launch the main app; resize the app  window to encapsulate the region of the screen you want to record and hit the "Record" button.  The application will be minimized while the recording takes place.  To stop the recording, open up the app window and click the "Stop" button.
