I just installes simplescreenrecorder which I remember a good, fass recording tool for desktop recording.
But I have trouble, when I am playing the recorded desktop (I saved in mp4 format).
There is a recurring flickering which is better described here:
http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/troubleshooting/

A (possible) solution is also given here:
Code:
The recording occasionally flickers, showing parts of the desktop background instead of windows
This is a known problem with Mutter-based window managers, which are used by GNOME 3 and Cinnamon. Since this is a window manager flaw, other recording software is affected by this too. For Intel GPUs, the flickering can sometimes be eliminated by uninstalling the driver for 2D acceleration (xserver-xorg-video-intel, xf86-video-intel or similar). If that doesn't help, then the only solution is to switch to a different window manager, or use OpenGL recording.


I only have a cpu built in gpu in my intel processor, a HD630 gpu with 128MBytes shared memory.
https://ark.intel.com/de/products/97122/Intel-Core-i7-7700T-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz
I would like to follow the suggestion, so, how can I disable 2D acceleration , how can I the similar module to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Gentoo?
And: Will this affect anything in my Plasma?
Or: Do you have experiences with this topic (flickering of ssr recorded mp4 files) and you know how to prevent flickering?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hallo friends.
I got the solution. It was my mistake, to misunderstand the solution given in the linked url before.
http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/troubleshooting/
I assumed, that xf86-video-intel was not x86-64 ( I must have been really blind or stupid).
But then I was given a hint to uninstall x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, what I tried then.
The result is fine. Now, after testing with unmerged xf86-video-intel, my video recorded from screen doesn't flash any more.

I hope, I could help others with the same problem here.

Thank you for reading my thread.
