Ashantara.8731 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Since the update to DX11, I can no longer capture in-game footage with the video recording tool I used to use, because there is no real Fullscreen mode anymore. Which program(s) do you guys use and recommend that work in Windowed Fullscreen mode? CamStudio, for instance, is working well. Still, any alternatives? 🙂  P.S. Instead of giving confused reactions, how about a recommendation? 😂  Edited April 26, 2023 by Ashantara.8731 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 For basic recording there is the Windows Game Bar. When enabled you can use windows key + alt + r to start/stop recording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Both AMD and Nvidia has built in recording. I havent recorded anything for a long time, but unless you're *really* serious a quick "clip compilation" setup is a ramdisk on a couple of gigs (avoids disk thrashing, just continous record to ram), Nvidia Shadowplay on ~5m back-in-time at 1080p/60fps, Handbrake to convert that into fixed 60fps and pick out the time segments you need (unless Nvidia has fixed their recording format) and DaVinci to clip things together with music/fades/overlays. The advantage is that you are recording all the time without actually getting any massive files. Just hit a button when something neat happened within 5 mins.

Ashantara.8731 Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 Any third party solutions you can recommend that aren't tied to Windows itself or GeForce Experience? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I haven't used it myself but I've also seen OBS recommended. That is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Biggest drawback might be too complex depending on what you are doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrHome.1920 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) If you don't want to use the GPU software or Windows then your software of choice is of course OBS. It's the standard capture and streaming software for pretty much everyone on Twitch and Youtube. It's quite bloated but leaves nothing to be desired and it's freeware.

Buran.3796 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023   Nvidia's Shadowplay (which is part of the Geforce Experience suite which comes as app/drivers) if you have a Nvidia card: has barely any impact in your framerrate (-5 or -10 at most) beacuse doesn't compress the video, plus gives good options in terms of quality and size of the files you save. Secondary option: OBS.   If your have one of the latest AMD cards 7900 XTX and XT their new suite seems to be fairly good.   Everything else is OBS; free, powerfull, fantastic for saving files and streaming, is a bit more impacting in framerrate than Shadowplay due compression and is more complex to use, but seems to be the gold standard amongst streamers, is hardware agnostic, free and developed as open source. Plenty of support.   Fraps, Windows, etc: garbage. Either very limited or highly impactful in framerrete (-33%+ in FRAPS) or poorly supported or everything at the same time. Dude, Microsoft Movie Maker (from the free suite Essentials) was more powerful and capable than the Video Editor in W10, and the same happens with the image visualizer; I don't known how anyone can trust in Microsoft first party programs taking in consideration their backgrounds, specially having OBS for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
