Games [Tutorial] How to Record Your Game/App on The PC

[wonder]

So @sorex asked me about my videos:

those videos you make of your platform editor is that a capture of an android emu?

any idea why for example that flappy bird example from And in gameview(?) or libgdx
still looks none smooth in genymotion?

you videos look a lot smoother for some reason.

I replied that I was using FRAPS to record the OpenGL surface from the MEmu emulator.

For some reason now, FRAPS just stopped working like it should.
I can't record any faster than 20fps, which is practically useless.
Maybe my new Nvidia drivers, who knows...?

Anyway, I've ditched FRAPS in favor of Open Broadcast Software 64bit.

I'm recording 720p60 perfectly smooth videos again.
Enconding: x264
Plug-in: Game

I hope someone finds this useful.

forgot to add in the conversation back then that it looks more smooth on a real device than in genymotion.

not sure where the slowdown is coming from then, the machine itself is like 6 months old with good specs altho not having gaming gfx card (just intel)

For gaming I use Overwolf which is another good bit of software.

@Erel, move to game dev?
