I see people still using FRAPS, their webcam/phone to record their TV/monitor (kill me, please), or otherwise with generally bad quality videos. I hope this helps out some other YouTubers. Should be simple enough if you own a PC.

Cool, worked, and thank you very much.
I've been using nVidia's Shadowplay which is actually fairly decent. It doesn't detect the game I'm making though so this is useful, thanks.
Is Dxtory one of the trial programs or is it full-free?

You pay for it
I honestly find that OBS performs significantly better than dxtory. Hooking into the nvidia shadow play equipment also works, though there is a notable visual quality loss at lower bitrates. I wish OBS supported recording separate audio channels for each source, but that can be easily worked around by just running audacity.
OBS just performs better, supports more features I find relevant, and is extremely lightweight, particularly if you use the hardware encoding. With hardware encoding, you can record 1080p@60fps with almost no impact on game performance.

If you have been using Shadowplay, try using OBS with these settings. No 4GB file size limit. You can record for literally days with no issue (yes I accidentally left OBS recording for 60 hours when I was off helping a family member move.) If you have a maxwell GPU you can use some of the other encoding presets, which might slightly improve the visual quality, but these settings are very good as is, and can be directly uploaded to youtube, producing relatively clean videos.

if you plan to stream make sure to bring your bitrate down to the ~2500 - 3000 zone though
Those settings are specifically for making high quality local recordings.
If you are streaming, you really should use the software encoding, because low bitrate shadowplay recordings are absolute garbage. They also have variable bitrate (despite settings otherwise), which twitch, and several other streaming services, don't like.

honestly I'd rather use this
even though I have a great computer, ever since I uninstalled geforce experiance I've gone from many GPU related blue screens to none ever
shadowplay is flawless, but it requires a satanic goat sacrifice to even get it to work properly and not cause issues
also, using this, auto screenshot is amazing :v: if you don't want to waste space/fps with a video you can at least do that

Try the settings I showed for OBS above.
Would love to use Dxtory, but unfortunately codecs he mentioned don't work in Sony Vegas 10.

And for AMD GPU users with suffering CPUs that can't encode 60fps without dying (*cough* my Phenom ii x4), we are lucky enough to have an experimental branch for us even (That's H.264 encoding on the GPU with AMD APUs or the 7700+)

Your settings made my OBS unable to record longer than a second before tripping over itself and freeze-framing.
dxtory is awesome, I recommend lagarith codec with it, really high quality codec. Also for those who didn't know you can use virtual audio cables with dxtory and record skype, teamspeak etc on a different channel so you can tone it out at will.

That is how my dxtory is set up and it's great if you want to deliberately record something that you know you want to edit later. However I do generally prefer shadowplay for quick clips these days as it's far less taxing on game performance and it'll record the last few mins of gameplay automatically.

What's your GPU?
Try setting the NVENC preset from high to automatic.
If that doesn't work, try recording at 30fps then, and halve the bitrate and buffer.

This stuff works quite well, but for anyone trying it, be advised that you should do an hour or two of testing before you start seriously recording anything with it. Several people I know with AMD cards using this have had long term stability issues with certain settings configurations.
I'm actually using shadow play and dxtory in-sync when I record. Shadowplay's small file sizes and minimal performance impact even in 60fps recording is absolutely stellar, coupled with dxtory's audio splitting means I can get the best of both worlds!
All you need to do is have them on the the same recording key and that dxtory's video recording settings is set to the absolute minimum. (like 1% scaling on video at 1 fps) Then you can extract the audio channels from dxtory and throw it on top of your shadowplay footage in your video editor. Just make sure that If you're using adobe premiere, you take the shadowplay footage and change the framerate the constant and you're good to go! (You can use handbrake the change the recording to constant fps)
It's kinda funny, I made a video similar to OP a week or so ago, I guess dxtory's really starting to pick up!
Is it better than OBS? It isn't free either I also see.

I'm not sure if its my card or something else, but on my 7700 this is the best I can get : [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9iSUic0wXo[/url]
Worked fine on my r9 280x, but I had to RMA it due to some issues with it.
Aside from Dxtory, there are other great screen recorders available for you to record screen including [URL="http://www.bandicam.com/"]Bandicam[/URL] (Free for 10minutes’ recording), [URL="http://www.apowersoft.com/free-online-screen-recorder"]Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recrder[/URL] (Win & Mac), Shadowplay (only for Windows PCs), OBS. You can compared their features and take your pick.

DX is better for professional recording, lots of features that pertain to mass-recordings with R/W customization and superior audio functionality. I use it when I know I'm going to be running a lot of clips through heavy editing later and/or need complicated audio editing.
Otherwise OBS is simply the best thing around for ease of use and quick return. Since it also encodes on the fly you just record and upload without any rendering nonsense wasting more time. It's easily the best thing to come into the recording world since the introduction of FRAPS. For almost anyone doing regular recordings OBS will be all they need, with small and unique exceptions (some of which undoubtedly have plugins for).
