|
 |
What's a good app to record gameplay?
FRAPS is (was) great but the files are so huge and you can't change video format either, it's not optimal for what i'm doing.
The video format is also not compatible with Windows Live Movie player which is what i use to edit movies. So it would be good if i could find something compatible.
I've tried Nvidia Experience but its just weird, it also doesn't work, if i press record from the overlay or from the keyb shortcut it just says recording saved (after 2 secs) and it saves nothing so completely useless (might be the game that it cant handle Skyrim LE with ENB).
I downloaded Filmora because some site said it was free and great etc but it's not ..
Didn't find a yarrr version either, wouldnt mind pirating it since i hate when companies trick you to download their stuff "its free!" and then it costs $60 to use it.

Win+G does a very adequate job.

Yes i found it, thanks!
This is pretty great actually, and the video could be imported into Windows Live Movie Maker, unlike with FRAPS.

This no longer works for me because every time i hit "rec" a text pops up: "You'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay" which takes me out of the game (and thus breaks the games i record - some bethesda games which does not support alt+tab so i cant go back in).
It's a known problem (i googled).
it's annoying because the Game Bar does work and its really great, its just this stupid notification that ruins all of it. Not gonna mess with packages and complicated reinstalls of certain things which might break Windows.
Any other app, preferably quite similar to this or fraps?
edit: i tried disabling all notifications in Windows but it does not matter for this one..

I'm absolutely not an expert in this field but the few times I've had to record gameplay videos I used OBS Studio, it's free and pretty customizable in terms of hotkeys, recording quality options and formats (mp4, mkv, mov, flv etc.). All in all, I found it pretty handy.

+1 for OBS
It has all you need and supports a wide range of codecs on top of it..
I had some very high quality recordings with it, where NV Experience never came close too..
anyway, +1 mate, +1.....

It's pretty good!
At first all it did was record a black screen and sound (in game mode) starting the app as admin and it works though.

Nice 
I remember that there was also a lot of stuff to tinker with in the advanced options/output in case the default quality isn't too satisfying. Back then I had to go with peasant settings though since my upload speed sadly is permanently stuck at abysmal 0.3Mbps
