AttorneyAtWar Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I use OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) it is a free streaming software but also lets you record as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 FRAPS, free software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I´ve tried a variety, but none is better than Fraps, in my opinion. The downside - which is also the upside - is that Fraps records the video footage uncompressed. This means that the save files are huge - and you´ll probably need some compression software if you´re going to edit your footage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This means that the save files are huge - and you´ll probably need some compression software if you´re going to edit your footage. For that i would recommend that quick media converter. Very simple quick and easy. BTW has anyone tried Dxtory? i've read its suppose to be the best but i havent tried it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you do end up using FRAPS I also advice you to have a separate harddrive dedicated to recording. If you record to the same harddrive as the one you have the game on, you can get serious stuttering because the HD needs to both load the information for the game and save the recorded footage at the same time. When I started recording the storylines in Star Wars: The Old Republic I bought a 1Tb HDD just to record to and it removed all the stuttering I've had before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Alte Fritz Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Could it be an external hard drive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Could it be an external hard drive? I guess... as long as the connection is fast. The thing about FRAPS that most people complain about is that it is "a resource hog" and slows down your system. But most people don't realize that it's because it saves in such a raw quality and such large files that if you save to the same hard drive as the one you have the game on, there will be alot of extra work for the HDD. Splitting the load over two HDD's will significantly lower the load on the system. BUT, you have to have a fast HDD connection if you want it to be an external one since it still has to save as fast as you are recording. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pewpewchewchew Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you have a strong CPU, I would go with Bandaicam. FRAPS, DXstory, and a whole lot of them are loss less recorders which spares no expense in quality at the expense of HDD usage. Video encoding from loss less video will take at the very least an hour and a half for about 30 minutes of video for internet quality at least. Then you'd have to spend the time uploading. With Bandaicam, it'll encode as it goes, the quality isn't as great however it doesn't really make a difference for internet video. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great tip, I'll have to try that one myself. I also concur that fraps works very well with the game. While Adobe Premier Elements is a cheap, easy to use, and effective piece of software for editing videos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's at 1080p done for youtube. So 30 minutes of material will usually take around 30 minutes to render. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Build We Fight Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I too have FRAPS but as noted huge AVI files. I do a lot of sports video taping/production and none of records in AVI. Has anyone here used a MP4 based game recorder? Nice high def, much smaller files. One such piece of software is MOVAVI. Another is Mirillis' ACTION. Would be interested in any MP4 recording information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I always re-edit the files to MP4 with sony vegas pro or movie maker and then delete the originals when I'm done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelMorton Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I also want to find a way to make a video game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If you have Windows 10, you are out of luck with FRAPS because it no longer works with 10. You could try Windows Movie Maker or whatever it’s called or if you have Nvidia try their GeForce game overlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornGinger Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Windows 10 has the XBox Gamebar which you open with the Windows-key + the G-key. Xbox Gamebar allows you to make a video of your game and to take screenshots. If you don't have it on your Windows 10 computer you can apparently download it from the Microsoft Store or what it's called. I unfortunately haven't been able to try it out as my laptop doesn't seem to live up to the requirements for it to record my game. Search about it on internet to read how it works.

mjkerner Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I’ve got the Xbox gamebar, but figured it was only good for someone with an Xbox! I’ll have to give it a spin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The thing I don't like about the gamebar is that when you bring it up, there's crap all over your screen. It is functional though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macisle Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Gamebar features have hotkeys. I use it these days for screenshot and video capture, but seldom open the actual gamebar. Just learn the hotkeys and folder locations and there's no screen mess to deal with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just started using the Shadow Play Geoforce feature with my Nvidia card, software free with card. Dead easy to use, good results, and you can set it up to like a dashcam to record last 5 minutes by just hitting a function key so it is working in background even if you don't hit record. So if you have it that was easy option for me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have tried it for screenshots and it works well. But when I try to capture video the pointer in game starts to act weird with the windows pointer also visible. Once shut down CM because of it. But I'm no expert on how to use it best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiguelMorton Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 After recording video you can use powerdirector mod apk techbigs to edit as you wish with premium features and effects for free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
