So I tried it but it doesn't matter if I save it on HDD or SSD (I tried it with NVMe SSD 4GB/s write speed).

It duplicates frames when I record in lossless. I found out it uses GPU for that and that's probably the reason. It duplicates frames the same way when I record with Shadowplay as well.

But if I record in x264, so it is using CPU for encoding, the video looks much smoother. Maybe it's not even duplicating frames. But of course, it's not in lossless quality.

I did a sample vid with both settings.

A SATA SSD might not be fast enough on its own tho, I would suggest either an NVMe or doing 2 SSDs in raid 0

But I didn't try to save it on SSD. I'll give it a shot.

What are your pc specs, it might explain why OBS gives duplicate frames for you when recording lossless if your setup isn't up to spec, like having a fast enough SSD

Hello.

I'd like to make some new longplays and I noticed fraps doesn't capture DX12 games so I started looking for some new software to capture lossless video.

I tried several of them:

OBS

+Lossless recording.
+Multiple functions.
+Real time preview of recorded footage.

-Duplicates frames when recording lossless.
-You can't choose codec to record lossless videos with.
-For lossless recording it's unreliable.

Nvidia Shadowplay

+Even tho it's not lossless, image quality looks very good.
+Easy to use, easy to set.

-It duplicates frames.
-Does not have lossless option.
-MP4 only output.
-Unreliable.

Fraps

+Very good software - even tho it's been about 8 years since last update.
+Lossless recording, easy to use.
+Does NOT duplicate frames.

-If you run on Windows 10 and have more than one monitor, the recordng is just black screen with audio. Making just one monitor you primary and only one solves this problem.
-Does not support DX12 games and many newer games.
-You can't set your lossless codec.

DxTory

+I find this to be the best alternative for fraps. Yet.
+During recording, it offers real-time info like current bitrate, current video file size, notification if your hard drive/cpu/gpu can't keep up etc....
+You can set codec.
+Does NOT duplicate frames.

-Many games crash when you try to run them AFTER running DxTory.
-Possible audio/video synchronization problems.
-It won't record newer OpenGL games.
-DxTory did not get update for more then a year. I consider it abandoned, yet still very good recording software.

Bandicam

+This I tried recently and it does record in lossless quality.
+You can set codec.
+As far as I know, does NOT duplicate frames.
+Last updated around 14 days ago.

-Did not find any. Yet.


The lossless codec I use is UtVideo YUV420 BT.709 VCM 64bit
What software do you use? Would you recommend some of these I mentioned? Or maybe completely different one?
Thank you.

account still exists but all longplays are gone now.

He's now uploading trimmed down versions of our stuff. However the stolen full length longplays are still there.

Responded in A youtube channel has been stealing longplay videos

The channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ50iJFMoh4XOIl5V8LmHdQ
That user has been reuploading longplay videos from this site seemingly without permission and making money off from your works. (ads play before actual content, that's how you tell the account is partnered)

You can tell videos are from http://www.longplays.org/ by just reading video description. I think I should tell people here because they are still reuploading now. (last upload was only an hour ago from the time I made this topic)
To stop it, individual players need to claim copyright. I can't do it because I don't have any videos.

The best way to record 480i with something like component cables on ps2 and gamecube is to use OBS Studio

Make sure that it is set to the proper resolution of what the input is giving for best results, for example ps2 and gamecube should say 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL

Then make sure that you setup deinterlacing for Yadif x2

Always make sure the base canvis and output resolution are set to the same as input resolution of the capture, and make sure the framerate is set for 59.94/60 for NTSC or 50 for PAL

Also make sure you record in lossless

What edits should I do?

I've seen so many videos on the youtube channel with the beginning like this: "Played by: ...... "

Responded in What Edits Should I do to My Longplay Video?

I haven't looked at them all but I guess results will all be much better than previous submissions.

Results are pretty similar to mine. Taking bizhawks output of 176x208, then cropping 8 pixels from all sides and only doubling horizontally I get to 320x192. Any further cropping will be game dependent. Then a final doubling to 640x384 for a more watchable video.

Nintendo >> Wii: 480p (if possible - not supported by all games)
And also for the european longplayers: 576p (only for PAL games they doesn't support 480p - only possible on Wii U)
Nintendo >> Wii U: 1280x720, 1920x1080 depending on which native Resolution the Game has (Here a List of some games and their native Resolution)

Responded in Longplays Resolutions needs to be updated!

ScHlAuChi told me after showing him the screenshot above that it looks much better than the previous videos. We need MadMatty's word on this though.

Also a bit offtopic, but some of Digger's MSX longplays are using a wrong resolution as well. Since those are MSX1 games, they should be at 512x384 after cropping and rescaling (512x416 for MSX2 games).

What the admins say now? Are the Intelli longplays good to be uploaded?

You need to do this process for Intellivision stuff to display properly:

Using VirtualDub, crop the AVI 8 lines in each border (9 for the right one), then resize to 318x192 with Nearest Neighbor algorithm and if necessary, a second crop at the left side. Rescaling to double size is required. This should be the final result (right click on the image):

Responded in Intellivision Longplay Questions

Intellivision: 352x208 (resized with Nearest Neighbor via VirtualDub, not cropped), 318x192 (cropped and resized with Nearest Neighbor via VirtualDub), rescaling to 636x384 required for submissions.

MSX1: 256x192 (cropped), rescaling to 512x384 required.

MSX2: 256x212 (cropped), rescaling to 512x424 required.

Responded in Longplays Resolutions needs to be updated!

We'll do that once we figure out the appropriate resolution for Intellivision games. I might ask the TASVideos team how they do the proper encoding without any defects in the final video.
