| − | ==3rd Party Recording/Capture Software==
| |
| − | A lot of the time it's best, and easiest, just to use programs like these to record gameplay:
| |
| − | *DxTory (¥3600 or regional equivalent)
| |
| − | *MSI Afterburner (freeware)
| |
| − | *Open Broadcaster Software (Local Recording mode) (free software)
| |
| − | **Note that it is impossible to get lossless video out of OBS, even with settings that produce lossless video or a lossless codec. The recording is lossy before it even goes through any processing.
| |
| − | *ShadowPlay (Nvidia exclusive) (freeware)
| |
| − | *CamStudio (Open Source)
| |

| − | ==General Recording==
| |
| − | Some emulators like [[Snes9x]] and [[Nestopia]] utilize the Video for Windows (VFW) framework to give the option of choosing a specific video codec to record the footage in. Options include recording with lossless codecs like [http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html Lagarith], which can greatly reduce the file size than if it were uncompressed. These emulators record the audio in uncompressed PCM and mux both streams into AVI files when finished recording.

| |
| − | ==RetroArch==
| |
| − | RetroArch records in lossless RGB x264 with FLAC audio and can take up a lot of disc space/processing power for high-resolution video. Recording options aren't currently implemented in RGUI, so you either need to use Phoenix or CLI. It's recommended you record to MKV format. For command line:
| |
| − | retroarch.exe -r "C:\Path_to_Recordings\recording_name.mkv" --menu
| |
| − | {{#ev:youtube|zbXVf63rX-0|300|center|Example of default settings}}
| |
| − | By default RA will record at native resolution, to record at a higher resolution, use ''--size'' then specify ''WIDTHxHEIGHT''. You can also set ''--recordconfig'' to use a specific config file when recording. By default, it will only record filters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To record with shaders, add: ''video_gpu_record = true'' to your config file. Depending on resolution/shaders your performance can take a massive hit. [http://youtu.be/jflrB0UIcFE Example video.]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==PCSX2==
| |
| − | To record video with PCSX2 just press F12 during gameplay while using the GSdx video plugin - a window will popup with configurable settings. For audio check Enable Debug Options in SPU2-X's settings, then check Dump Memory Contents in the Debugging options <!-- When I tried this the audio was corrupted, then it wouldn't dump anymore, so not exactly sure -->{{cite}}.

| |
| − | ==Dolphin==
| |
| − | It's not recommended to record through Dolphin, but it is possible. You'll need specific builds that are edited for A/V sync, can't use Dual Core or Idle Skipping (causes desyncs) and Dolphin will crash after your video hits 2GB without setup.
