Capturing Gameplay With NVidia Shadowplay

[Daiwilletti]

I've just successfully installed NVidia Shadowplay and used it to record about 5 mins of QC in CFS3. The quality seems to be almost WYSIWYG.

After mucking around with FRAPS with watermarks, and other video capture software which is complicated, this seems to be a good option for those with recent NVidia cards (IIRC GTX660 and above).

Is anybody else using Shadowplay, I would be interested in hearing how other people are finding it?

I've used it to record six or seven videos in FSX and it has worked perfectly every time. No apparent impact on frame rates, and good resolution in the final product. Example here:

Used the nvidia software for my videos, and have been pleased with the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDaASl0uXOc&t=244s

The file sizes are rather large though.

The large output files are MP4 and it shouldn't be too hard to compress them a bit. Windows Live Movie Maker is a surprisingly handy bit of MS freeware for doing basic stuff. It ends up getting installed in Windows Live/Photo Gallery/moviemaker.exe
