codec for dxtory

[Mr.Reggin]

hey guys, so i wanted to record some gameplay with dxtory that I've just installed, but the normal coded gives me 1GB on 10 seconds video and of course my hdd is too slow for that data. Can you guys link me some usefull codecs? Would be nice

Thanks in advance!

System specs? Do you want/need color accuracy? Do you want to still use a lossless codec?

i want one that makes thew file size smaller, according to Dxtory, my HDDs write speed is 70-80MB/s. Well I wanna record BF4, so the colours should still be good, dont need to be perfect doe.

Intel core i7 4702MQ

2xSamsung 840 evo 250GB

Samsung 5400rpm 1TB

Nvidia geforce gt 750M 4GB GDDR3

16GB DDR3 1333mhz

I use Lagarith with its lowest color mode. I rec Planetside 2 mostly. I have not frame drops with it.Neither from cpu nor the hdd write speed (i have a 500gb scorpio blue dedicate for video capture and editing). Most of my files which are more than 1 hour are about 120 GB as i remember. I just use handbrake to compress them. I can achieve about 10 times smaller size.

you want some links for dxtory guide?

Why don't u use OBS with QuickSync or NVENC? It give lower performance hit and good compression depending on your settings.

so i installed this codec and recorded using slight compression and multithreading and my game fps are better than with fraps, but the fps of the video still sometimes dont stay at 30fps cuz of the Hdd. what ''mode'' are you using?

[Opcode]

You can always use x264 with DXTory as well.

i use YV12  but with a i5 so no HT for me Are you puting the rec file on the samsung  hdd? do you have the game also on tjis drive? Don't forget to go to advance settings and click use 4 threads and also click on the  bottom windows on the far right and make sure the output is your screen resolution and also the frame rate is the same as movie cap option on main windows

Also dxtory has the option to  rec in mutiple drives

Maybe try UT VIdeo Codec? It is a lossless codec, but it scales quite nicely to file size ratio if you are willing to decrease the colorspace.

This is a pretty good one.

 

Lagarith is also pretty good. File sizes are a lot smaller http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html

i have HT activated in the codec options. Of course I record to my HDD, thats why I need a better compression.

i already have it, but it still doesnt stay constant at 30fps, although my game fps are average 45FPS, so its the HDD.

thanks, I'm gonna try it later

[nekro]

Try to monitor the usage of your hdd while caping to see the actual usage of it. The easiest way is from windows task manager but i use a windows 7 gadget

oh inforgot to ask. Does your game run from the hdd or from the ssds?

thanks, the codec looks as good as the lagarith, but the file FPS barely go below 30fps, so thanks.

it should put out a pop up to install it. Then you will find it on desktop gadget:-) (right click on desktop)

ehm what, i cant open it, it asks me for a program to open it with

[nekro]

You have windows 7? If so scroll down and somewhere will be a link to an .exe file file. Download this. The top link with avg and shit didn't work for me. It's safe :-)

Windows 8 removed gadgets. 

But I'm glad the UT video codec was able to help.
