RecordMyDesktop como alternativa Linux a OBS Studio (advanced streaming suite)

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

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.

Lo que funciona igual

  • Both capture desktop screen and microphone audio simultaneously
  • Support full-screen or region selection
  • Run on Linux using standard audio/video subsystems (ALSA, PulseAudio, X11)
  • Free and open-source under GPL licenses
  • Offer GUI frontends for easier control

Lo que cambia

  • RecordMyDesktop does not support live streaming to YouTube or Twitch
  • No scene system or transitions between sources
  • No support for overlays, custom layouts, or multiple sources
  • Outputs only Ogg Theora (.ogg), not MP4, MKV, or streaming formats
  • Lacks active development and modern feature updates

Abrir tus archivos de OBS Studio (advanced streaming suite)

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.
