hum, Maybe is not a bad idea to write a full guide about how to record.
Now you need to search over several topics to find how to do.
There is no thousand good codecs, need to show which one is goo

I usually just record with Fraps, then convert it to mp4 with Prism to a smaller size.

The way I hear it, Fraps isnt truly lossless, but visually or something. It still leaves a crapload of information on the video that the file sizes are big. Having several HDD's for storage helps.

I record with Fraps using a external HD. Retro consoles games i (we) use special emulators!
Brian0451010 years ago
True, but that really depends on your computer and its graphic capabilities. Mine sometimes locks the frame rate of the game to 30 fps slowing the game to half-speed.

yeah but see the good side, you are sure to get the perfect quality and no drop frame.

I only wish Fraps didn't take up so much memory. It's like 1GB a minute. That's f**ked up.

dxtory is good if you record to a separate hdd, and it is fast enough
Jihao10 years ago
Either record in yv12 or YUY2(Bigger, better quality)
Multithread etc whatever.

And is more customizeable than fraps. Tbh I wouldnt recommend fraps, I'd just grab DXtory and use Lags for a good recording, and PCM if you're an audio nut.

You can also try Bandicam as well, those are both very good programs, I like Dxtory better though, but Bandicam is hassle-free.
Bandicam is slightly less customizable than DXtory.

When I tried dxtory, the video was jurky... >.<
Didn't have any problems with fraps until now !
Spazbo410 years ago
i like dxtory way better than fraps, on my new computer fraps went down to 2 fps sometimes for no reason, at least with dxtory i can use lagarith
orugari10 years ago
oh okay so I understood that... What a pile of bullshit on bandicam website lol !
I'll stay on Fraps so :p
Thanks !

Like said MadMatty: "Bandicam sucks because it compressed the video before it gets to the lossless codec". I use more Fraps to record pc games

bandicam = fraps lite
