Screen Recorder needs better optimization.

Hey Mods, the screen recorder is so bad! The recording widget is too big and just adds to the clutter on my HUD, i requested an option to hide it a few months back but it was never included in the FOTA updates. Even at 720p, the file size is still too large. There's a 30-minute recording limit too so when I'm in the final moments of finishing a match in PUBGM (A full classic match usually takes 30+ minutes), the screen recorder just cuts off automatically and shows a distracting, giant notification on my screen. I'd like to share my gameplay but the file size is too big. The viewers will surely experience some buffering. I'm starting to get jealous of iOS' screen recorder because it seems to generate less MB/minute all while retaining HD quality. Why do we have such inferior recording software?

First of all,don't compare iOS with android,they work very very differently,also,for this phone,the size shouldn't concern you at all
Now, about the time limit,I record on 1080p for 15 minutes straight,no throttling or limits
Also while the notifications stand on the bottom of the screen,they cause no buffering no nothing
It's just as good as an iOS recording,but if you play with 90 FPS,it will look somewhat stattery since it compreses the FPS to 60
Now I don't know what expectations you have,the HUD for the stop recording button is absolutely perfect,it's the perfect size for the top of the screen
Again,I have experienced no buffering or limits,and the 1080p is stunning and I dare say smoother sometimes than the gameplay itself
Keep up the good work ASUS
The ROG 2 recorder is much better than Rog 3

Didn't you read? I said the time limit is 30 minutes max, not 15! Of course you won't have any problems because you're still 15 mins short. That "stop recording" button may be perfect for you but it's not for me. I've had situations where I didn't see the enemy that was in front and above me because that thing was in the way and If i move it somewhere else, I'll accidentally tap on it. And please explain to me how 4GB for a 30 min, 720p clip is reasonable to you? Do you imagine viewers with slow internet speed will be able to watch this with no buffering at all? Just because you don't have a problem with a software doesn't mean no one does, okay?
Well,the minority of users have problems so it won't do much,but from what I remember 4GB or not,social media compresses them enough to be eligible for users with low connection signal to watch the videos,besides if you aren't patient nothing will be sufficient for you,example being my own recordings,15 minutes can take a good 10 or 20 minutes of 1080p to upload on YouTube with HD quality,even on 5 bars on my networks,aka really fast internet
But buffering depends on the internet,not the video size,it compreses a lot so it is normal
You know i emphasized the importance of the "HD" part earlier, right? What's the point of me uploading a 720p video to a streaming platform when it's just gonna be downscaled to 240p? And if the viewers do choose to watch using the 720p option, their data's gonna be sucked dry because of the file size. I feel like you're just commenting without understanding, you're not helping at all.
That's not really how it works tho,the viewers can change the quality whenever they want,and should be responsible with their data,not your problem or the file
If they need to watch in HD, then they WILL HAVE to choose the 1080p/720p option. As the uploader, it is my responsibility to provide them with accessible HD options. Seriously, I must be talking to a kid here. Can you just stop replying? You are useless.
Well,you are way more worthless complaining publicly, replying to me or even spreading false info,noone needs to watch in HD,if their data plan is really limited they should watch in SD quality,are you a spoiled kid by any chance? You should already know the SD quality is uploaded first and then the HD quality,the viewers have atleast 6 options to choose from no matter the size,btw I aint a kid smh
The purpose of this thread is to inform the mods of my, an ROG Phone 3 user's, problem about the screen recorder so that they can TRY and FIX it! This "complaining" is one of the main reasons why this forum exists, dumbass! If you're not a kid, stop acting like one!
Before talking out of your ass you should check facts. The max bitrate for 720p is 6000kbits on twitch and 8000kbits (iirc) on youtube.
I'm closing this thread. Seems like no one here's capable of helping AT ALL. And the mods are either turning a blind eye on this or they must be on their holiday vacay rubbing their asses with gift wrappings. I won't entertain any replies anymore.
This requires pc. If you are aware of how to use obs, I can share some steps over pm. To maintain respective high quality recording with bitrate of your choosing. Recordings will be done and stored directly on your pc.
Hold on a moment.
You can stream your Phone to OBS?
Yup. Check scrcpy, sndcpy on GitHub. Cool project.
Thanks, quite dank.
