Describe the bug
My monitor resolution is 5120x1440. If I try to start a recording on that monitor I see:

  • ignoring invalid SAR: 0/0
  • Width 5120 exceeds 4096
  • Provided device doesn't support required NVENC features

I have a two monitor setup. If I try to record my 1920x1080 monitor, everything works correctly.

To Reproduce
Run gpu-screen-recorder-gtk
Attempt to start a recording on a monitor that exceeds the 4096 resolution limit.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • X11 or Wayland: Wayland
  • Desktop environment/Window Manager: KDE Plasma 6.2.0
  • Distro: Arch
  • GPU: RTX 3080
  • Version (latest flatpak version, aur or source): aur gtk version

It's not a bug, your gpu doesn't support that resolution for video encoding (for h264). Try changing video codec to hevc instead, it might support higher resolution. I will consider automatically defaulting to hevc when recording at higher resolution than 4096.

Thank you. HEVC does indeed support higher resolutions.
