Any good recording program for battlefield 4?

[Oliversisu]

So, i need a very good recording program to record my battlefield 4 when im playing, i used fraps but it gets laggy when i turn it on? I have AMD Raedon R9 290 series but it's still lagging when using fraps? is there not any program made for raedon graphic cards, just like Nvidia shadowplay?

Thanks for the help

yes, because with fraps your hard drive is the bottleneck, you're trying to get your hard drive to write the data being recording and read BF4's game data at the same time, bad things happen when you do that.

Just buy an external hard drive or a 2nd hard drive and set fraps to record to it

Okay thanks, what is the price normally at for a External hard drive?

 

[lmaonade200]

for externals you can get a nice 500 GB for about 50-60 bucks I believe, internal hard drives are bit less expensive, though it will require you to open up your computer case and mount it

I have a free alternative. Use http://obsproject.com/ to record or stream your videos to http://www.twitch.tv/. You can set your account to private while your record too. You can edit your videos afterwards and I think upload straight to youtube that way.

Okay, if im looking for a good gamer hard drive but also not that expensive, so what am i looking for?

if the hard drive is just for recording vids, it doesn't need all the fancy stuff that a system hard drive would need like higher spin rate (RPM) and large amounts of cache, if you can find a 250/500 GB at 5900 RPM with something small like 8MB of cache, then it should do fine as a recording hard drive

possibly something like this, a western digital internal hard drive, 320 GB with a slightly lower spin rate and small amounts of cache, only 30 ish bucks, record your videos to here, edit, upload, then delete them afterwards because raw video takes up a ton of space

though I would suggest to try the other recording software first, theoretically it should still perform the same exact way as fraps as recording video to your hard drive still needs the HD to write data, preventing you from having a smooth experience in game. But if it is somehow different then that may solve your problems

You can set your account to private(so people cannot watch) and stream to your account. I've never tried long sessions of recording over an hour, but it should theoretically work. You will need a good connection to upload directly to twitch.tv, and 720P won't lag you to much, OBS is great. You can edit videos in twitch fairly easy, but if you need more advanced tools to edit then recording directly to hard drive may be better.

It's better than recording, using fraps for example, then using software to edit then encode a video for youtube which will take time and cpu power.

If the streaming does not work for you a 500B(or higher) hard drive would be good, you can use a lot of space easily.

This would be optimal, and a good price:

I would go with Dxtory, check it out. Not much space needed as most recording software need 2gb space for one video, and it runs with almost no effect on the fps and frame rates.

Hope it helped.

 

[Oliversisu]

Thanks for the help guys, wish i could pick as solution on your all.

 

[pouryafasih]

No problem, but really check Dxtory out, I'm using it for over 6 months now, and I just love it.

Pick me as solution ^.^

MSI Afterburner works now on 64 bit systems if you're looking for a free simple recording app. It actually works quite well and uses very little system system resources compared to even Dxtory and Action!, both of which I have.
