Pourteeus 2 Posted February 27, 2017 Hello everyone, So as of lately I've been using the Nvidia ShadowPlay feature to record my arma which performance wise has been working great, unfortunetly I've noticed it does take quite a bit of quality out of the recording even when the settings are set at 1080p. Does anyone know of any good recording software that can hold its quality at 1080p? I've tried DxTory and that also seems to do the same. PC Specs: i7-6700k @ 4.5GHz GTX 970 TI 4GB FTW 2.0 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum Series @ 3200MHz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterPuffin 21 Posted February 27, 2017 You can set the bitrate in your Shadowplay options. Normal YouTube 1080p bitrate is 12mbps. Just experiment a bit to find a good quality to file size ration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 2TB HDD just for recordings so i'm not worried really about file size i just want the best quality as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterPuffin 21 Posted February 27, 2017 Then there is something different wrong. When you use a bitrate above 50 mbps there shouldn't be any noticeable quality loss. What could be, is that your HDD is to slow. Do you own an SSD? If yes record to it instead and copy the files from time to time to your HDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pourteeus 2 Posted February 27, 2017 I'll try that thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foss 12 Posted February 28, 2017 I record on an SSD with 50mbps. Video looks good until you walk through grass, vegetation looks unsharp. Specs are the same, except the GTX is a 1070 8GB Sample Video i recorded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R 1087 Posted February 28, 2017 Are you transferring the raw video up to Youtube or editing it before hand? I would get similar effects when using a variable bit option instead of a constant rate when rendering edited video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pourteeus 2 Posted March 6, 2017 @Rich_R Im editing the videos with Sony Vegas 13 before uploading to YouTube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R 1087 Posted March 6, 2017 Then make sure you chose a constant rate but and not variable in the rendering options. This forces Sony Vegas to render consistently. However, rendering will take longer ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebuckfastwine 1230 Posted March 8, 2017 Bandicam full version paired with bandicut is great you will not lose any quality and can edit it easy, it lets you upload straight into your youtube account high speed and high quality. last vid I done using bandicam/bandicut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jqZQqJKQYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djotacon 190 Posted March 8, 2017 All the H264 codecs are loss codecs you need a lossless codecs and a software to support this added codec. OBS Studio a freeware recording tool with external codec support: https://obsproject.com/ Lossles free video codec (Lagarith): https://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
