what do you use for video game recording /v/?
Unregistered HyperCam 2
>>318157590
Shadowplay, and if that don't work, OBS.
Anything else is an idiot's choice.
Shadowplay.
Dxtory or Shadowplay
>>318157590
OBS, why is this even a question anymore?
>>318157673
Do you, by any chance, listen to Evanescence and record your tutorials on notepad ?
print screen very fats
NVIDA Shadowplay or DXTORY, anything else is shit and for poor people.
>>318157590
fraps
>>318157692
A thousand times this
>>318157692
>>318157773
This. Shadowplay for offline recording and if i really need the top notch performance
If not or if i want to stream i use OBS
Cracked xsplit and a avi converter.
>>318157941
You can also use NVEnc with OBS. Same thing as Shadowplay.
>>318157590
NVidia Shadowplay family
No frame drops like with Fraps.
It's a PITA to actually turn off and on the functionality of that is broken though.
Bandicam
I can use external codec

>>318157590
shadowplay most of the time, fraps if i want quality
>>318157891
>implying you paid for it
>>318157981
>Hes using the extremely perf eating xsplit
I will never understand why people still use that shit over stuff like OBS which is nearly flawless and has a low as fuck overhead
Everyone their own of course but man
>>318157590
Bandicam
>>318158047
I did.
Dxtory with the respective GPU accelerated codec.
Shadowplay is bloatware thanks to GeForce Experience and the recording options aren't as customizable.
>>318157590
Obs
Xsplit is for normies who enjoy spending money on shit software
>>318158047
>not paying for dxtory before shadowplay was available
poorfag detected
>>318158138
>He paid for dxtory
why the fuck would you do that?
>>318158143
>Shadowplay is bloatware
I would agree if Dxtory wouldnt have a stupidly big overhead and the performance with GPU acceleration would be anywhere close shadowplay.
Same is the matter for any other program with NVENC support
Would love if i could just use OBS with NVENC and shadowplay like performance
>>318158074
I first got xsplit when it came out, and stopped using it for a while. I did try OBS but I didn't like it so I stuck with what worked for me. Though tell me more about shadowplay
>>318158268
Because torrents don't come out fast enough with each new update and I ain't broke.
>>318158350
I used to use xsplit in the beginning too but god damn that shit is such a perf shit compared to OBS or hell shadowplay.
Even after testing NVENC support with xsplit some months ago that shits still eating like crazty and 1080p@60FPS is not even possible on my machine
>>318157941
>Shadowplay for offline recording
Why offline in particular?
MSI afterburner, come at me.
Playclaw.
Kinda crap.
>>318158490
Offline as in, not streaming.
Why not for Streaming too? Because shadowplay only supports Twitch and Youtube whcih i don't care for.
They need to finally add fucking Hitbox support
>>318158440
Oh, well I never really had that much of a issue performance wise when I was recording stuff like mgsv or street fighter though the only time I felt performance lag was when I was playing dota. But I may be not too technical to see the performance dip or just not have noticed.
I use MSI Afterburner. I figure it's always up since I OC my GPU's I may as well use it for my screenshots and recordings as well.
Works better than fraps by making use of up to like 16 threads(instead of 1) and you can even get custom GPU encoders for it as well and do shadowplay like stuff with it(AMD only).
>>318157590
Is there any recommended recording for toasters? My GPU doesn't support shadowplay unfortunately.
>>318158776
Obs has the least amount of overhead.
It sets up like the old livestream did if you ever used that in 2008
Did they ever add a screenshot button to Shadowplay, or the ability to record windowed games?
It's fucking stupid that something like FRAPS has a screenshot feature but shadowplay doesn't.
>>318158670
Possible or maybe it was always my system for some reason.
But i don't see why xsplit and co would drop performance like crazy when using NVENC and a i5 in combination
Can't tell me that even if you're using GPU recording you still need a i7 anway to compensate while shadowplay only need an i3 at best
>>318158858
>or the ability to record windowed games?
Sadly only via desktop recording (with aero) since the beginning
Has something to do with the way shadowplay works that they can't do it in window mode
Are there any lossless settings for OBS that are actually lossless? I tried the -qp=0 and -crf=0 options with a high bitrate and it still has some obvious artifacts
>>318159016
>Are there any lossless settings for OBS that are actually lossless?
Only in the multiplatform rebuild of OBS which i still under heavy devolopement but perfectly usable right now already
They got lossless modes working there
MSI Afterburner. It works very well and doesn't impact performances much.
>>318157673
>not using superior Bandicam
kill yourself
>>318158143
Since when does less than 10MB of memory usage split up between a few processes constitute 'bloatware'? I don't think you know what the term means.

Jesus Christ Anon what the fuck is this interface?
Reminder for every AMD GPU user that there is a special OBS fork made for AMD recording whcih is the closest you get to shadowplay without using the shitty Raptr
>>318159432
>that windows 8 design
>>318159684
Jesus christ
>>318159651
Geforce Experiences spies on your system processes and sends software and hardware data back to Nvidia
It's more spyware than bloatware.
>>318158558
Really Anon? it's not that bad. It certainly does what it need to do for me. what problems do you have with it? Also pic not related just felt like dumping it here
>>318159837
>Geforce Experiences spies on your system
GEE you mean just like most software including steam AND YOUR WINDOWS OS?!
Holy shit my mind is blown!
>>318159769
All the fork does is add support for VCE doesn't it?
Is VCE any good? I seem to get better results with x264vfw.
>>318159837
Got any specific examples of the data it sends? You sound knowledgable enough on the subject to go into greater detail.
>>318157590
theres this program called gregion, it encodes on the fly, i can record wow 1080p without problems
shadowplay, if it doesnt work then fraps
>>318159975
Pretty much yes, all it does is adding some good VCE support.
VCE is pretty damn good actually. Performance in OBS can be pretty good for my standards.
From my exp back then OBS VCE had better quality than Shadowplay even did sometimes.
But that might have been thanks to me recording at 30FPS only
Tho anyone that is a REAL quality faggot shoudl use fraps anyway and nothing that's actually encoding like x264 or hell even worse GPU based recording
>>318160129
You don't have to use FRAPS to get uncompressed recording.
Then again I don't know you would ever record uncompressed fiels unless you have a literal toaster.
>>318160224
*uncompressed files
>>318157869
>>318160224
Friend of mine is using ONLY fraps because hes a huge quality-phile. Same goes for audio and just in general
He refuses to change too because, who would have thought, fraps works flawlessly for him 1080p@60FPS or even 4k so he sees no reason to chagne for worse quality
>>318160339
He must have one hell of a PC because FRAPS is notable for being a huge memory hog when recording.
He probably has many HDDs, too, given how obscenely huge an uncompressed video file is.
OBS, it just works so why bother with anything else?
Never got to use shadowplay.
Used fraps before, it's shit. I mean sure it looks rather nice but it burns through the space way too quick and I encode the video afterwards anyway so it's not like it does anything.
I'm not going for the LOSSLESS 0 ARTIFACTS CRISPY CLEAR PERFECTION because my hardware and upload speed are subpar.
As long as it's clear enough who gives a flying fuck, I'd much rather save space and time.
>>318157590
I'v never really recorded a video game before but my computer has xsplit or something like that on it.
>>318160590
Well he got a i7 5960x and a SHIT TON of HDD pace (10TB or so) so yeah...
And hell even i got 16GB DDR3 RAM in my i5 3450 so that isn't exactly special
Used OBS on my previous toaster, now using Shadowplay because my new card supports it.
>>318160626
>As long as it's clear enough who gives a flying fuck, I'd much rather save space and time.
This is pretty much my logic behind it.
I can't bother using shit like fraps over the superb shadowplay or OBS performance just to get crystal clear quality which goes to shit thanks to youtube anyway
>>318160907
>which goes to shit thanks to youtube anyway
Yeah that sucks. I wish Youtube would allow users to go deeper into the settings, like choosing the up/downscale algorithm.
That reminds me, I found this neat page of info on what settings are recommended to use when uploading on Youtube:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
I've got a live gamer portable. Wanted something that could record console and pc gameplay.
>>318161443
>https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
Shit like this is sadly so useless to me
I upload my sony vegas render directly after rendering (24mpbs bitrate) to youtube and i don't even know half the shit vegas uses settings wise.
Youtube blows the quality no matter what in the end
Sometimes more, sometimes less
>>318161769
>i don't even know half the shit vegas uses settings wise
You can create your own template before starting to render.
>>318161923
I know. But I don't think you can set half the settings google recommends you
At least not with the codec i use
Why does no capture software without a fuckhuge overhead also capture stuff like afterburner OSD?
>>318162160
Why would you want to capture shti like afterburnder OSD?
That's likely one reason why the do have a fuckhuge overhead
The just record what you see and don't go deeper into direct X and record ONLY the game and sound but not your screen itself
>>318162160
playclaw can other than that and the ones you already listed I don´t know any more
>>318162581
For benchmarking and performance videos of course.
>>318162714
Might as well just use the benchmark frametime recording feature of fraps in this case if you wan't everything to be "on tape" synced up
No wait you mean the CPU usage etc all shown ingame right?
Something i personally don't really care for cuz that shit is just yet another unneeded overlayer for me sorry
>>318161995
It's been a while since I opened Vegas but you're right, for a professional software Vegas gives surprisingly little control over the way files are rendered.
>>318162914
Fraps tanks the framerate once you start going above 100fps in 1440p.
>>318162939
>for a professional software Vegas gives surprisingly little control over the way files are rendered.
Tell me about it. That shit's made with usability in mind it seems but not actual detail regarding the options
In short: Professional my ass
>>318162980
>Fraps tanks the framerate
?!
The frame recording features tanks FPS?
I don't talk about RECORDING the game via a video btw mate
>>318163146
For post-production you can try using Shotcut, it's open source and it's packed with functionalities. It uses FFmpeg to encode files and there's a tab to add your own encoding options too, so you've got some serious amounts of control.
>>318163581
Thanks for the info mate. Sadly I'm so used and happy how Vegas work i can't bother to try something new.
I'm a big faggot of habbit sadly.
In the end YT blows shit anyway so no matter in trying to optimzie in that regard.
And for my dropbox needs Vegas is good enough anyway
>>318163753
ur a fag oli
>>318157590
SD and PC I use OBS.
HD console I use the built in Elgato Game Capture HD Software
>>318159684
>switch skin
Done
>>318157590
Camtasia.
>>318157590
Fraps, though I fucking hate it because I have to use a video editor to compress the insanely large video files.
>>318157590
If for glorious uncompressed archiving, FRAPS til i'm literally unable to use it. OBS for any shit that I don't care about.
I use fraps only because if a game were to crash then worst case only the last few seconds will be lost due to fraps file splitting. Ever other software I used have a high chance of corrupting the file if the game were to crash while recording in which case all progress is lost because it is just one massive file. If playing a MMO or a game that autosaves then just redoing it isn't an option without starting completely over.
If a software can't record an unstable game like Maplestory for example without any errors then that is a regret waiting to happen.
I'm playng Vanilla WoW and recording PvP fights I find myself in. Used OBS initially, but I needed to manually enable it every time I fight happens, and often I would fail to record shit. So now I just use Shadowplay and it does the job perfectly for all those swift, spontaneous fights.
Open Broadcast Software using QuickSync (uses an Intel CPU's integrated GPU).
>>318157891
AMD has had GPU-accelerated encoding long, long before Shadowplay came around. Fuck, I remember those "All-In-Wonder" cards literally decades back in the day that even had TV capture.
>>318158963
I used a i5 2500k, but I just mainly used just xsplit since it saves my recordings though for my gpu it was a 560ti but I don't know if that has any to do with it though I'm sad because I want to make videos but I'm too lazy to do it because I'm not motivated enough and my friends say I'd be funny enough to do it.
But to each his own.
The paid version of
Dxtory
The OBS fork with QuickSync support so I don't take a fps hit like with Shadowplay.
shadowplay if you want alright quality and zero performance loss. fraps if you want high quality but like 10-20 fps loss in game.
>>318157941
Does Shadowplay take up a lot of resources?
>>318166671
75mb of RAM right now
>>318164989
>Ever other software I used have a high chance of corrupting the file
>What is FLV
OBS can use FLV or MP4. FLV being useful as fuck in case you're recording with QuickSync which tends to crash OBS a ton
>>318166079
>The OBS fork with QuickSync support
So the normal version? The official OBS version has quick sync AND NVENC support for ages now
>>318166671
In what regard? HDD, RAM or CPU?
HDD wise it's what you would expect from a x264 (codec) MP4 file with up to 50mpbs bitrate at 1080p@60FPS
Your CPU or RAM are completely irrelevant as long as you got 4GB RAM minimum
http://www.geforce.co.uk/geforce-experience/system-requirements
While recording, or if you got a ton of RAM, that thing eats up 200mb at best maybe.
Tho i must admit that i never looked at it while using it for the last half year.
Are there any programs other than Shadowplay, that run in the background recording at all times, saving last 5-10 minutes of footage at the push of button?
>>318167394
MSI Afterburner can do that too.
>>318167394
OBS has a "replay" function like shadowplay.
Other option would b e Raptr which is pretty much AMD answer to Shadowplay
>>318164784
yea so umm maybe dont use it?
obs is free and lets you edit bitrate
>>318157590
dxtory, even though I have a nvidia card
How do you guys record in webm forrmat?
>>318167498
Not him but I hated Raptr though I forgot the reason for it. There was a small period where I was looking for a recorder and Raptr for one reason or another failed to meet my standards.
>>318165593
>(uses an Intel CPU's integrated GPU)
Oh crap I didn't know it worked like that. Now I can offload the recording onto the iGPU instead of having the dGPU do all the work.
>>318167619
you record in normal format then use webm for retards
>>318167619
I don't. I record stuff like usuel and then re-encode it via FFmpeg/WebM for Retards.
>>318167619
You don't record into webm. You only convert files you recorded into webm.
webm would be near impossible to record at 1080p@60fps becuase it's so fucking slow to encode
>>318167685
>but I hated Raptr
Me too, don't worry.
At least they finally fixed the fucking "hur dur we only let you record approved games via our whitelisting system :DD" bullshit which was the biggest issue of raptr
>>318167619
nobody does
>>318157590
I use a mobile phone camera
>>318157590
Bandicam. I started using it because the shareware version offered more features than shareware Fraps. Now that I've got used to it I'm considering buying the full version one day.
