If i switch to x11 session, this issue is not there (video saving ok).
To quote the project README:
wayfarer is a screen recorder for GNOME
• Modern GNOME desktop (Arch, Fedora, Debian Testing, Ubuntu 22.04)
• Wayland or Xorg
• Pipewire / Pusleaudio / libportal (XDG Desktop Portal)
• Wireplumber recommendedDoes not support other desktops.
So I'm not surprised that it doesn't work in this environment, nor that it does in X11 because that has no dependencies on different Wayland compositors and portals.
I will update the README to make it clearer (and fix the pusle typo).
It's also a generic issue. Doesn't work in Gnome Shell either. I'll have a look at what's changed ...
Interestingly, other 3rd party tools like kooha fail in exactly the same way.
kooha works for me without this issue

Indeed, once I upgraded my ancient version.
This is probably the end of road for wayfarer; I no longer have to time or energy to chase every changing APIs.

Fortunately, it isn't. The development branch works again with latest GStreamer ...
