Introduction
So this program has been out for a few days now and i'm sure a lot of you have seen it already, as it was posted on the osu! reddit. It's gotten a lot of (deserved) attention and i thought it would be cool if i made a guide here in the amino. It is very useful and most people were waiting for this converter for a long time, consider reading the entire post!

Explanation
The program was made by uyitroa and it converts .osr files to .mp4, aka it converts osu! replays into videos. All you have to do is select the mapset and the replay file within the program, click start, and it will automatically do the job for you. Also it works on pretty much any computer, even if it's really low end. (Only works for osu!std at the moment).
You can also select through various options like the video quality, skin, cursor size, pp counter, global or mod leaderboards, key overlay, ingame interface, and much more. The program automatically detects the map and replay if you open the results screen of any score, but you can alternatively press F2 to save any replay of yours and select it manually on the program, and you won't even need osu! to be open.

'How To' and Additional Info
The program is able to detect the map most of the times as long as you have it in your osu! folder, if it doesn't, you can always just select it manually. After you have the replay, skin and map selected, don't forget to mess around with the options to have the video just as you like, and i also recommend setting the input to .mp4 instead of the default .avi.
It may take a few minutes, especially if you're recording in p, but it's certainly gonna be way faster and practical than if you were to record it manually.
To enable the global leaderboard, you need to enter the API key in the settings, you can get your API key here (Warning: Don't publicly show your API key, it can compromise your account's password and username). If you want to include all plays using mods in the mod leaderboard, put * in the box. If you want to include only HD plays, put HD. If you want to include HDHR and HR, put (HD)HR, HR will be a required mod and HD is an optional mod.
