Recording your gameplay?

I've always used VirtualDub with Xvid and Sony Vegas... However this talk of handbreak and others sounds interesting. Time for some research I think.

Any recommended tutorials on compression or other formats etc? (just to save time if you know good ones off hand ;) )
 
Well I had a 4:30mins uncompressed video that I captured with DXTory and ran it through Handbrake with a slight reduction in audio quality from 160kb/s to 128kb/s and the resulting file went from 2.72GB down to 379mb.

I've watched it back and there's very minimal & I mean minimal quality loss which is damn impressive.

Normally I stream & upload via Twitch, but will record more videos at 1080p, encode & upload after I think.
 
I've recently started streaming and then just uploading the stream to YouTube itself. If I need to actually work locally I used to record with Fraps, now I just use the streaming software (currently using OBS).

I agree that Fraps can result in large files but you should always be using the best quality source files when using AV software, then compress the final result to whatever you want your audience to see. Limiting the source file only results in potentially lower quality results.

I've a dedicated 3 TB RAID 10 volume to both record and edit from so space and speed aren't an issue, you just need to be prepared to work with such big files if you want to get very good results.

My only is that I'm absolutely useless at putting designs 'onto paper' since I've no artistic abilities lol
