I want to start recording my gameplays, since I enjoy watching it later and pretty funny things happen when playing with friends. I was wondering what would be the best way to record the gameplay since I only have a a couple of standard Seagate HDs with low write bandwidth.

I want a good quality (at least 720p) but I also don't want to loose a all my frames. What do you guys use as recording set up?

I have tried allot of different programs and afterburner captures in 720 and I only seem to lose about 7fps in BF3. If I get something I want to keep, I then compress the files to .mkv file format with a free program called Handbrake.

Does afterburner still have that BSOD bug that had on the time of the Battlefield 3 release and Bad Company 2?

But this loss is when you are recording on the HD which the game is installed, right?

For local capture - Dxtory.

Nothing compares to it for power and flexability. It makes Fraps look like a toy.

Use Lagarith as a codec with Dxtory and you have near pixel perfect capture with very little overhead compared to some other solutions.

Small sample clip of Battlefield 3 in 1080p to give you an idea of quality, was rendered at ~7Mbit/Sec prior to Youtube receiving it.

I tried Dxtory some weeks ago and discovered it need a very large bandwidth.
Will search on Lagarith and test it.
