Hello!
When I start recording from the board there, the mouse cursor moves normally.

When I turn on screen recording

and move the mouse in the program window, it moves with a slight delay, not as fast as on the Windows screen.
Downloaded earlier versions there too.
Is this the way it should be, a slight delay in the movement of the mouse or not?
Maybe this is because my computer is already old, 15 years old?
Checked on the ShareX program I do not have a mouse cursor delay there.
Attached a gif there it is visible how slowly moves in a window, and after switching off is faster.

That's because the recorder is getting the mouse position and image to render on top of the captured image.

The other program uses FFmpeg if I recall correctly.

If you upgrade to Windows 10, you can use a new capture method which is faster (DirectX).

The DirectX mode cannot be used in a Windows 7 machine. It's not supported by the DesktopDuplication API, made by Microsoft.

This is clear. Thanks for the answer.
I just showed my settings on Windows 7. I thought maybe in the settings you can change for Windows 7

Maybe there are some features in the program settings.
I'm just asking on Windows 7 you can’t do anything already? Only Windows 10 to set?

Thank you again for your help and program!

You can try enabling the "image cache" (K3w b na...) and the async recording. Not sure if it will help you.
