==3rd Party Recording/Capture Software==
A lot of the time it's best, and easiest, just to use programs like these to record gameplay:
*FRAPS Bandicam ($37 must use version 1.8.2 or regional equivalenthigher if you want lossless recording via third-party VFW codecs)
*DxTory (¥3600 or regional equivalent)
*Fraps
*MSI Afterburner (freeware)
*Open Broadcaster Software (Local Recording mode) (freewarefree 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)
*Camtasia
==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

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.]
==Dolphin==
It's was once not recommended to record through Dolphin, but it is possible. Youas you'll d need specific builds that are edited for A/V sync, canand couldn't use Dual Core or Idle Skipping (causes desyncs) and Dolphin will crash after your video hits 2GB without setup.*[https://github.com/nattthebear/dolphin-avsync A/V Sync Branch]*[http://tasvideos.org/EncodingGuide/VideoDumping.html#These problems have been resolved, with Dolphin Dumping setup]*[http://tasvideoshaving internal ffmpeg dumping since 2017.org/forum/viewtopicIt's also recommenced to tick "Frame Dumps use FFV1" in the last tab of the graphics configuration dialog box if you'd like your dump to be lossless.php?p=365686&sid=85792bd71fd91949d497bde618d2686c#365686 Prevent Crashes]
