Björn Daase requested to merge bdaase/gnome-shell:master into master

Quoting the commit message:

Revert "recorder: Switch to vp9"

This reverts commit d183f13456991d12ea57ad14ba38a1f7407d0037.
Switching to the vp9 encoder seemed like a good idea at the time but
unfortunately it also has the major drawback, that it leaks a serious
amount of memory every time it is used. See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/256#note_692743
for more details.

@skeller I reverted the commit now. As you did a lot of work in triaging this, I am perfectly fine setting you as the author of the commit if you want 😄

Fixes: #256 (closed)
