The discussion centers on finding a reliable screen recorder for Mac, with a strong recommendation for OBS Studio. Users highlight its cross-platform availability (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and its advanced settings that allow for noise reduction, input device selection, and output quality adjustments. While OBS Studio can produce near-HD video quality, users note that the file sizes can be substantial, averaging around 10 GB for one-hour recordings. QuickTime is mentioned as an inadequate alternative due to its lack of features like a timer.

Wrichik Basu said:I use OBS studio. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are settings that will allow you to reduce noise from your microphones, choose the input device, output quality, and so on. When I used to record online lectures, my settings produced near-HD videos, but file size was about ~10 GB for 1-hour videos.
