Waddup waddup.
I recently bought LA Noire and a few other titles on my laptop that I wouldnt mind doing commentaries/lets plays on, and I'ld like to know if any of you have experience with recording software. I'm fairly certain that the Laptop will be able to handle it and I already havve a mic and camera as well as ediing software (MAGIX). Looking to get anywhere from a stable 40+ FPS, and for it to be cheap or free if possible. I dont feel like Torrenting anything since I just got the laptop last month.
Please leave me some suggestions
-
If your PC can handle it, use Fraps. The only people usually complaining about it are the people who can't run it. If not, I hear things like Bandicam can do the trick as well.
-
I use fraps personally. When you go to record, I would advise you to drop your game settings since any recording software takes a pretty big performance hit.

Camtasia with a cracked serial is good. Fraps records huge videos if you don't compress them. Like a three minute long video will be a gig.

If your video card is an nvidia, use shadowplay. If it's not, I'd recommend dxtory, when I use it, it makes my frames drop by 2 and I've configured it so the video files take up hardly any hard drive space. Fraps makes 10GB files for 30 seconds of footage and it kills your performance so I wouldn't recommend using that. Plus, fraps is over rated.
If you have an AMD video card and are willing to spend ~$6, I'd recommend following this guide here. (http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1w4di9/howto_shadowplay_1080p_30fps60fps_h264_game/) (Use bluesky video capture, not uscreencapture)
P.S. The bluesky video capture can record 30 fps for 1 hour and only make a 10GB file VS. frap's 30 second 10 GB file.

You've never heard of shadowplay, have you?

Your phone has a pretty good camera Moses

I have, but seeing as moses does not have a desktop gpu, he will not be able to use it as it does not support notebook gpus.

I never knew that... Darn. Just don't use fraps, the video sizes are way too large. Considering you have a notebook, you probably have around a 500GB HD and that'll get filled up way too fast with fraps.
