Hmmm. I just tried a couple of recordings on iPad 6, iPadOS 14.6. They're all 1440x1920 MP4, higher res than HD TV, and they look good. (Size reported by the EXIF Viewer app.) They don't seem to be affected by the Camera video settings. If you have a Pro with larger screen, and the possibility of 4K recording, you may have more options to try.
What device do you have, and what video format is it recording? Are you viewing the recordings on iPad, Apple TV, Mac, or something else?
I'm using an iPad Pro 10.5.
Not sure what format it's recording it in, but do you have control over screen recording formats?
If it's under camera in settings... I've tried High Efficiency and Most Compatible. It's also set for 4K/30fps
Although... I'm getting better results today for some unknown reason. Perhaps all it needed was a restart. That, and I think my source is higher resolution now too. Last night I was getting a lot of compression artifact and it didn't look anywhere near as good as the source did as it was playing.
On my 10.5 it really depends on the material being recorded for me. Screen caps of simple app usage is crystal clear. The more 'music visualizer' kind of stuff with lots of detailed fast motion or large smooth gradients the crappier it gets.
It was very fine lines and fairly dense line compositions that were also moving at a good rate. If I decrease the complexity a little and slow down the motion some, the screen recordings seem to look fine.
I'd just assumed that if what was playing on my screen looked good, then the screen recording would also look good. That doesn't always appear to be the case.
I am pretty sure that the screen recording quality (which is about the data rate of the compression it uses rather than the number of pixels) is adaptive and influenced by CPU use...it may use a lower data rate if the CPU use is heavy. I don't know exactly how the system decides the recording parameters, but I very occasionally end up with fuzzier than normal recordings.
The other thing to know is that lossy video compression at anything other than medium to high data rates struggles with very thin lines particularly when encoding has to be done in realtime.
CPU use is a very good point I hadn't considered. That would make sense given that last night I had several apps open in the background, etc. and was getting the fuzzies. Then this morning I was ONLY using one app and was getting much better results... even though the source was STILL fine lines with motion.
