Open Broadcaster is my favorite stream capture software: https://obsproject.com/

Its mainly for desktop game streaming to twitch or ustream, but it has near flawless capture/encode to local disk (much better than camtasia's encoder in my opinion).

Here's a tutorial for high quality local recording: http://www.thelonegamers.com/2014/02/18 ... e-footage/
And here's what I use for encode settings etc.: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/ ... rdings.16/

and it's free an open source

Uh, that sound very interesting. I've just installed it...will give it a whirl later! THANKS!

Appetising!

Have you an example with Verve? (whith Obs)

Shadowplay took me a while to get it run. You need to activate windows aero before you can do desktop recording. There are just few features to adjust, but records directly in h264 mp.4

The recordings are fluent and directly to use.
The quality is good but far away from 50000 compression as said in the settings.
It's more like 7000 which is not too much for hd.
For just recording painting session, still very good.
I couldn't get it to record in full hd. It was something like 1720 x 1080?
Filesize is pretty small then.

I tried active presenter before. Very high quality recordings but not fluent. Avi.

A free one I had no problems with in capturing Verve is Hypercam2.

Well one general problem has this fix someone has demonstrated here:

You can install FM Screen Capture Codec to use with Hypercam2. That's what seems to work for my purposes.

You will end up with rather big files tho. So if someone knows a free converter program please let me know? There seems to be so much crap for converter tools, hehe.
