Best Recording Programme for Games?

[alleyn321]

Hi LinusTechTips!

 

So Im looking for the best Recording programme (Free to Donwload or Cheap to buy / Nothing professional ) to record my Amazing BF4 plays

 

I do not have any experience in Recording etc but I know that each programme has different requirements in terms of how powerful my PC is.

 

So what do u think I should start with?

 

 

 

Thanks

I'd try OBS first.

Fraps or Bandicam.

I would use shadow play, it records in really small files and with excellent quality! It is also free if you have an Nvidia gpu!

Then use shadowplay. It's part of Geforce Experience. Let's you record up to the last 20 minutes of gameplay at the push of a button.

OBS is great because it's open source, and you have complete control over bitrate, resolution, etc.  It doesn't have a huge impact on performance (looking at you, FRAPS)

Shadowplay works great! I have a video on my youtube channel of BF4 hacking and I used shadowplay to record it.

Shadowplay then edit using Sony Vegas Pro

 

P.S Youtube 1080p only goes up to 10megabits so you don't need 50megabits+ files. Make them 20megabits.

Im trying the Shadowplay but somehow its not doing anything ... seems like its dead not reacting to my commands

[alleyn321]

Update: Now it works ... But it doesnt show if Im recording or not ... kinda stupid

Dxtory - for Quality

Hardware Encoders for Performance - Shadow Play, Gaming Evolved etc..

Does Sony Vegas support 700 series? I know they dont support Maxwell. I am looking for a good gpu rendering software that supports my 970.

I tried it with my 970 and speeds changed nothing.

Ya same. I am pretty disappointed that Maxwell isnt supported.

I use shadowplay but i'm not happy with the quality.

I also use MSI Afterburner pre-record set to 600 seconds on file and with lagarith lossless codec.
