hi! [i hope this is the right thread here]
i would like to know what kind of video capturing software you would suggest to make gameplay videos? at the moment i use the afterburner software but i'm not happy at all because it often crashes and the videos get lost every time. i would like to find a free alternative but i can't find anything. does anyone know more and have an idea?

I'm using fraps since a long time. Good for recording gameplay. But it costs frames, so for gameguru vids, well ... Not really perfect. But I see u have a nvidia card. So you should try shadowplay from nvidia, it's free

There are a lot of free alternatives. Just google it. For example there is a free old version of fraps.
I tried a lot of free alternatives and then I ended by a software from a indi developer. I didn´t find a link to his side.
Here is a link to recoding software. Sorry it is in german

My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

i was looking for fast stone capture and i found an outdated link where i read that it's only for screenshots?!?!?
i found an older version of fraps in this german list and i hope it still works. i will install it when i'm home.

thanks for the help, i found this really REALLY challenging to find a software for this... it wasn't my first try

No, it works with video too. It even works with video capture cards also.

If you ever find yourself having the money, I would say Action!(on steam) is worth getting. I tried free alternatives but in the end it was just easier to buy one and Action is known for its easy user-friendliness.

Camtasia is my choice. I purchased the AVS4You pack and it has some screen recording software however I found the audio didn't line up (could have been the settings). So I did some research and Camtasia stood out. Not the cheapest one on the market however for me it works well.

Once again I cam recommend Bandicam, FREE, if you don't mind the watermark, I bought a licence which removes the watermarking and allows more options and auto update too.

I use bandicam as its able to detect the DirectX window and record from it directly. It alternatively allows you to record from the screen based on a box you draw on it. But I like that its able to detect various games and even Game-Guru itself (DirectX).

I haven't played with Shadow play too much. I can't get Nvidia to add Game Guru to the list of games.
More tutorials and freebies on my website

After using all the rest of the things listed here, I find OBS (Open Broadcast Software) to be the best. I've never run into a game it didnt properly record and I had a gaming youtube channel going for a while. The software is free too. It definately blows fraps out of the water.

You can record static or stream with it and theres a ton of settings videos for both on yourtube. Very easy set up.
The only stupid questions are those that were never asked.
