Trying to get everyones opinion on which in-game recording is the best.. I am thinking about roxio any suggestions?

FRAPS

Bandicam

Fraps.

Each recording takes up a lot of space, but the quality is worth it!

Fraps. Epic quality, but drops the FPS about 20-40%

FRAPS (you can convert to smaller space file).

I use Fraps but the frame rate drop is crazy some times. There are a couple of things that you can do i.e. record to a different hard drive! or record in half size. I record to a separate hard drive and my frame drop has gotten a lot better!

msi afterburner....bandicam is only good for taking pictures and can only record for a lousy ten minutes vs msi afterburner you can record for hours and hours and its free

I use paid version of Bandicam, so I have unlimited time.

It has excellent quality and is well optimized when it's well configured.

 

I used Fraps many years ago but I prefer Bandicam now.

does it drop your frames at all.... cause i have a msi gtx 660 ti and i saw that, but i have no idea how to set it up

a little bit but it depends on your system and what setting you use to record you should just try it since its free...also it shows you when you are recording with a red circle in the corner bandicam doesn't have that

sweet i am going to have to try it. Thank you

looks like you get better fps then me so you should be good to try an alternative to fraps

yea thats what i was thinking....thank you bud! I appreciate your help

This maybe just my system,   but i am running a vanilla GTX 660 so you got me beat already.

I find it runs fine with compatibility like 90%.  But it is so strange with some games that slow down really badly and you just think... why.....

 

I can get a stable 31-44fps for GTA IV - and it is a crappy console port.

 

And with Starcraft 2 - it tanks when recording.   i dont get above 16fps.  

 

 

Now it could be just my drivers and system setup.   I no longer have a dedicated sound car on my current rig,  so i wonder how much CPU processing is taken by that.  My 5 year old rig actually runs some things better or more stable so i am dumbfounded.  But not a lot,  just a few odd ones here and there.

 

 

So you are probably okay using it.   Afterburner has a few layers of menus.  Definately look at some guides to configure it.   Good luck!

thanks alot man i greeatly appricate that! i am going to try right now

Dxtory is amazing. Although anytime I record GTA and GTA only I get terrible frame rates on the video. Perfect in game but the video playback is awful.
