The features of SimpleScreenRecorder (extracted from the official SimpleScreenRecorder website):

• Faster than VLC and ffmpeg/avconv.
• Records the entire screen or part of it, or records OpenGL applications directly (similar to Fraps on Windows).
• Synchronizes audio and video properly (a common issue with VLC and ffmpeg/avconv).
• Reduces the video frame rate if your computer is too slow (rather than using up all your RAM like VLC does).
• Fully multithreaded: small delays in any of the components will never block the other components, resulting is smoother video and better performance on computers with multiple processors.
• Pause and resume recording at any time (either by clicking a button or by pressing a hotkey).
• Shows statistics during recording (file size, bit rate, total recording time, actual frame rate, ...).
• Can show a preview during recording, so you don't waste time recording something only to figure out afterwards that some setting was wrong.
• Uses libav/ffmpeg libraries for encoding, so it supports many different codecs and file formats (adding more is trivial).
• Can also do live streaming (experimental).
• Sensible default settings: no need to change anything if you don't want to.
• Tooltips for almost everything: no need to read the documentation to find out what something does.
