# FOSSR
A **F**ree, **O**pen-**S**ource **S**creen **R**ecorder for Mac OS X 10.8+.

## [Download here](https://github.com/theawesomecoder61/FOSSR/releases)
This will take you to the releases page.

## Features
- Records the entire display
- Choose which display to record
- Set the framerate/FPS (5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 45, 60 FPS)
- Show/hide the mouse
- Show/hide mouse clicks
- Remove duplicate frames (for smoother-looking video)
- Countdown from 0 to 10 seconds

## How it works
Mac OS X and iOS have a framework named *AVFoundation*. This framework handles audio and video input/output, such as audio players or video camera capture. Here is what goes on in the meat of the code:

1. It creates an *AVCaptureSession*, this allows inputs of audio and video, quite necessary
2. It creates an *AVCaptureScreenInput*, this allows us to capture the screen
3. It adds the *AVCaptureScreenInput* to the session, otherwise our session wouldn't have anything in it
4. It initiates a *AVCaptureMovieFileOutput*, so we can export the captured screen data to a file as an *.mov*
5. It adds the *AVCaptureMovieFileOutput* to the session
6. It runs the session
7. Once the user clicks *Record* and selects a place to record to, it begins to record and write data once *Stop* is clicked
