Game video capture software

[CommandantAce]

I can't remember the name of some screen recording software I have read mentioned here a few times. I have tried freeware camstudio, its ok. The software I am looking for is pay to use. I should've book marked it. I will eventually be posting to youtube. Anyone got any suggestions for screen cap software?

Not technically a game play question so I will ask here.

[edit]

Turns out I did bookmark it. I was looking for bandicam. But if anyone has any other suggestions let me know, why not?

Open Broadcaster Software is pretty excellent. FRAPS and Bandicam can apparently sometimes cause KSP to crash (or perhaps it's KSP crashing them?), and lose footage in the process. I've never had any issue like that with OBS.

Dxtory works fairly well but not sure if it works completely with KSP, costs money too.

If you do get it (most likely not) you should get the Lagarith Lossless codec with it

If you've got a newer Nvidia card (as in 600+ series) then you can use shadowplay. It works really well for me and has almost no hit on performance.

DXTory is definitely the best game recording software at the moment. Fast, extremely configurable, lots of compression options, multichannel (for audio), pre-cropping, scaling, etc. I use it for everything and have never had any issues. And it's pretty cheap.

The biggest advantage it has over most other recording software is that it does not require that game FPS operate at an integer multiple of recording FPS. FRAPS (and most other recording softare) has had this issue for a long time, and requires that your machine be able to put out much higher framerates than is actually required for the recording framerate you want.

Open broadcaster beats xsplit hands down for streaming.

MSI Afterburner has worked great for me; it seems to be the only free screen capture software that doesn't slow down my little crappy laptop significantly.

Gonna give it a go. Might be useful.

I use Open Broadcaster too, it will record MP4 files locally, you don't need to actually stream it anywhere, and it has some pretty robust window/screen capture settings.

Haven't really tried much else.

Same here...

I have a pretty good computer and I use MSI Afterburner. Very speedy.

And besides, for KSP it's pretty simple for me to throw the recording software on one thread and leave KSP on another
