  * video encoded using [H264/AVC][] or [H265/HEVC][], with 10-bit support for HEVC
  * audio encoded using [AAC][] or [FLAC][]
- * for window capture can capture full window area (including title bar/borders) or just the client area
- * optionally exclude mouse cursor from capture
+ * for window capture record full window area (including title bar/borders) or just the client area
+ * window capture can record **application local audio**, no other system/process audio included
+ * options to exclude mouse cursor from capture, disable recording indication borders, or rounded window corners
  * can limit recording length in seconds or file size in MB's
  * can limit max width, height or framerate - captured frames will be automatically downscaled
+ * when limiting max width/height - can perform **gamma correct resize**
+ * optional **improved color conversion** - adjust output YUV values to better match brightness to original RGB input
