Description
Recently wanted to create a specific viewport-sized screen recording of a website. Quite difficult to get a high-quality, exact video recording with most free/OS-level tools. You could try this with Puppeteer/Playwright, but in my experience the video output had color differences and low quality (it's not really made for this purpose). Built-in QuickTime Player and Kap can kind of do this, but to capture a browser tab you need to precisely position the capture window, which is frustrating when you make a mistake.
What if you could just select a screen in Reflex, click "Record", "Stop recording", and then you get a MP4 video file?
Task
- Add video recording using Screen Capture API ffmpeg (WASM)
- Start/stop recording UI
- Optional settings: video height/width, FPS, quality (low, medium, high)
- Choose save location

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the Electron/Vue screen-selection UI and reviewing the Screen Capture API and ffmpeg (WASM) usage; done means selecting a screen, starting and stopping a recording, producing an MP4, and supporting the requested save location and optional settings.
