Aperture.Windows

Windows screen capturing and recording library

What's this?

Aperture is a .NET library for capturing the screen and recording video on Windows platforms using diverse technologies.

It tries to be as performant as possible and to use hardware-accelerated capture and encoding whenever feasible.

Compatibility

The library is designed to work with Windows Vista SP2 onwards. Windows XP support is not present nor planned, as we depend upon the .NET Framework 4.5, which is not compatible with this platform.

Take into account that performance could be negatively affected in older Windows versions (Windows < 8) for the lack of Desktop Duplication API.

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/CaptainApp/Aperture.Windows
$ cd Aperture.Windows
$ nuget restore
$ devenv Aperture.Windows.csproj /Build

Open-source code

This software depends upon awesome open-source software without which it could not be possible.

Third-party

These open-source projects are also being used (albeit with no actual source code of these being included):

• Multiple SharpDX libraries, as NuGet package dependencies.
