3rd Party Recording/Capture Software
A lot of the time it's best, and easiest, just to use programs like FRAPS to record gameplay.
- FRAPS
- ShadowPlay
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. No shaders will show up in recordings, only filters.
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 [citation needed].
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.
