RetroRec v1.4.0

A major stability and quality update over v1.3.

Changes from v1.3

New Features

  • Pause/Resume — cleanly stops and resumes recording with automatic segment stitching
  • Persistent warm FFmpeg — captures a throwaway frame on startup so first recording starts instantly
  • Conversion progress bar — real-time percentage while post-processing

Fixes

  • Removed wall clock timestamps — fixes 2-3 second lag spikes at start and random freezes mid-recording
  • Added bt709 color metadata — fixes grey/washed-out colors on all systems
  • FFmpeg priority lowered from ABOVE_NORMAL to NORMAL — zero desktop impact, no micro-stutter while recording
  • RetroRec priority lowered from BELOW_NORMAL to IDLE — UI never competes with your apps
  • FFmpeg window now hidden with SW_HIDE — no console flash when recording starts
  • Stop button blocked while paused — no accidental double-stop race condition
  • Audio thread queue reduced from 4096 to 512 — lower latency, tighter sync

Tuning

  • Live encode quality: q:v 5 → q:v 3 (FFmpeg default, cleaner source for post-convert)
  • Post-convert: added -tune zerolatency for faster processing
  • CRF unified to 22 across all CPU tiers (was 20-30 depending on cores)
  • Thread count locked to 1 for live encode across all CPU tiers (was variable)
  • Segment-based recording for pause/resume with automatic concat on stop

System Requirements

  • Windows 10 1803+ or Windows 11
  • Dual-core x86_64 CPU, 4 GB RAM
  • Any GPU that displays Windows
  • ffmpeg.exe in same folder
