RecordMyDesktop als Linux-Alternative zu OBS Studio (advanced streaming suite)
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
RecordMyDesktop is not a good replacement for OBS Studio if you need live streaming, multiple scenes, or complex layouts. It works for basic screen and audio capture with minimal CPU use, suitable for quick local recordings. However, it lacks streaming, scene transitions, and modern formats. Use RecordMyDesktop only if you need a simple, lightweight recorder for occasional use. For streaming or professional recording, stick with OBS Studio or alternatives like SimpleScreenRecorder or Vokoscreen.

Was anders ist
- RecordMyDesktop does not support live streaming to YouTube or Twitch

- Lacks active development and modern feature updates
Ihre OBS Studio (advanced streaming suite)-Dateien öffnen
RecordMyDesktop saves in Ogg Theora (.ogg), which OBS Studio cannot directly import or edit. Converting the file using ffmpeg or VLC is required to use it in OBS or other editors. OBS outputs in formats like MP4 or FLV, which RecordMyDesktop cannot read. There is no direct file compatibility between the two tools.
