SimpleScreenRecorder, alternative Linux à Elgato Game Capture HD
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
SimpleScreenRecorder is a good replacement for Elgato Game Capture HD only if you already have a UVC-compliant USB capture device. It doesn’t replace the hardware but works with it. Linux users capturing gameplay from consoles via HDMI can use SimpleScreenRecorder to record or stream with low CPU overhead, especially when leveraging hardware encoding. It supports standard formats and offers solid configuration options. However, it won’t help those relying on Elgato’s proprietary software stack or wanting plug-and-play simplicity without a compatible capture device.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Elgato Game Capture HD
SimpleScreenRecorder saves files in standard formats like MP4 and MKV, which are universally playable and editable in most video software. While it doesn’t directly open Elgato-recorded files, those are typically in MP4/H.264 and can be used without conversion. If Elgato files use non-standard containers or codecs, transcoding may be needed, but this is rare. SimpleScreenRecorder’s output is fully compatible with workflows that accept standard video files.
