Windows 11's new video recording feature

As of a few days ago the default program to taking screenshots on Windows 11, known as Snipping Tool was recently updated to allow for video recording

+ It comes at no extra cost to the user
+ It uses hardware acceleration when available 

• It uses h.264 
• a constant 30fps framerate
• what I think is a decent bitrate, I am getting around >6000Kbps 
  (I don't know if this is based on a quality constraint or average bitrate)

 - the screenshot shortcut doesn't have a video toggle, you must first launch snipping tool.exe
 - rectangular is the only mode, no quickly selecting a window or full screen

I think the closest comparison point for this is not OBS but rather GNOME's screencast tool, which you see on a few distributions of linux, such as Ubuntu

+ also free
+ can switch to video mode after pressing the screenshot shortcut, with quick full screen selection

• VP8
• variable framerate, caps at 30fps
• I am getting around 4000 ~ 4500Kbps
• uses software encoding by default
  

 - No window selection mode when on video recording 

Additionally both don't record audio, the Android native screen recording tool does. While I do wish the Windows Snipping Tool allowed for more tweaking, I think it will serve its purpose quite well for most people. Those that want more will use other recording software such as OBS or Nvidia's Shadowplay
