Bandicam vs DXtory vs Action! vs FRAPS

I tested 4 softwares for capturing video from screen ingame ( WOW )
And all results of testing is here!

Bandicam vs DXtory vs FRAPS vs Action!(mirillis)

Lets start!
Testing with Lossless codec (+- 5-10%)
Screen resolution 1440x900 (16:10)


WARNING! if you want to record videos without laggs and FPS drops - record you videos on other HDD ( not logical disk!! )
MY config :
1 HDD (disk C / F) SATA [max 130 mb/s]
2 HDD (disk D / E) SATA [max 130 mb/s]

DO NOT RECORD TO IDE HDDs ( lossless bitrate is much higher than IDE speed)
IDE speed is [max 87mb/s]
Dont forget - recording to IDE is bad but play games on IDE is not bad (loading game and map/locations is slower than SATA)


I put WOW client on disk F ( 2 part of system disk)
Recording video to disk E ( other HDD)
THis is all for stability (video bitrate is 90-100mb/s)
IF YOU RECORDING VIDEO and PLAY GAME ON SAME DISK this is slowing system and make FPS DROPS.
DO NOT INSTALL WOW on SYSTEM DISK C and DONT RECORD VIDEO ON SAME DISK!!!
INSTALL WOW ON HDD1 and REC VIDEO on HDD2.

Test 1


Lets begin test

BANDICAM

1) With 30 fps/Lagarith codec recording is good and you dont get any FPS drops and laggs. [5 points]
2) With 60 fps/Lagarith codec recording is normal but FPS ingame slower.NOT create laggs [4 points]
Stability of Bandicam is very good ( i installed bandicam on disk where recording video)
but in spite of this mistake - the program records without laggs with high quality. And i think - Bandi deserves [+1 point]
3) Recording bitrate is
30 FPS = 193127 kbit/s = 24mb/s
60 FPS = 212141 kbit/s = 26mb/s

DXTORY

1) With 30 fps/High quality recording is better than bandicam,NO FPS DROPS ingame,no laggs [5 points]
2) With 60 fps/High quality recording is good ,no FPS drops,no laggs ingame. [5 points]
Stability is good,but DXtory have two negative options - HIGHEST bitrate (lag on video play) and big weight of Captured video in high quality/HD quality
But this not affect to game. [+0 points]
3) Recording bitrate is
30 FPS = 933123 kbit/s = 116mb/s (High quality)
60 FPS = 1866257 kbit/s = 233mb/s (! High quality)
30 FPS = 466563 kbit/s = 58 mb/s (Medium quality)
30 FPS = 933123 kbit/s = 116mb/s (HD - RGB)
60 FPS = 1866247 kbit/s = 233 mb/s (HD - RGB)
120 FPS = 3732495 kbit/s = 466 mb/s (HD - RGB)

Mirillis Action!

1) With 30 fps/High or medium or low quality recording is good and without laggs/FPS drops [5 points]
2) With 60 fps/High or medium or low quality recording is still good,without lagg and FPS drops [5 points]
Gameplay with recording is good,but this software dont change the quality of recording (BUG) , and low configurable.
But this software have one positive option - you may view the recorded video in this software!
30 FPS = 1242624 kbit/s = 155mb/s (!!!)

FRAPS

1) With 30 fps/without RGB correction recording is very good,NO FPS DROPS and no laggs [5 points]
2) With 60 fps/without RGB correction recording is very good NO FPS DROPS,NO LAGGS [5 points]
FRAPS is very good software,file size is big but this is not a problem.
Stability is very good
3) Recodring bitrate is
30 FPS = 465024 kbit/s = 58 mb/s
60 FPS = 931584 kbit/s = 116 mb/s

VIDEO PLAY (2 round)

Playback in KM player have following results :
Video recorded by Bandicam playing without freeze [5 points]
Video recorded by DXtory playing without freezes only with MEDIUM quality and lower [2 points]
Video recorded by Mirillis Action! playing BAD with freezes [-5 points]
Video recorded by FRAPS playing without freezes [5 points]

FINAL ROUND

Bandicam is more configurable and have good performance, have option to select FPS rate 29.7,may recording with lossy codec (XVID,MPEG-1) [5 points]
DXtory is good configurable software but DX codec is very bad (Very high bitrate,huge file size) but may record with 29.7 FPS ,and may working with lossy codecs [4 points]
Mirillis Action! does not have more configs, recording in AVI is bad (overspeeded bitrate) Dont record 29.7 FPS but performance is good [2 points]
FRAPS not configurable and not have access to select codecs but standart codec is very good, have optiond to select 29.7 FPS [3 points]

CONCLUSION

All this softwares is good for use,but some of them working good on HIGH-END computers.
Bitrate of recording 100mb/s and higher is very big for SATA-1 HDDs and IDE,HDDs dont support speed higher than 130 mb/s
IDE HDDs support maximum 87 mb/s

All tests were made with LOCKED FPS (option may be selected in FPS section)
In bandicam = FPS - Lock FPS at XX (Where XX is FPS which you want)
In DXtory = Lock FPS in advanced settings
IN fraps = Lock FPS in video settings
Mirillis doesnt have this settings

ALL tests were made with standart codecs (only bandicam have external codec Lagarith)
I forget to speak about 29.7 FPS.. this is very good feature!IF you select this option,you lose 1 FPS ( from 30) but this feature increase performance on capturing and FPS ingame.

RESULTS

Bandicam [20 points]
DXtory [16 points]
Mirillis Action [7 points]
FRAPS [18 points]

In my opinion Bandicam and FRAPS is best softwares,You may configure all..what you want.
DXtory is more configurable than bandicam,but standart codec is shit.
Mirillis Action! is very very very bad software for recording video..(on my PC 100% bad working)
Dont listen peoples who say ''FRAPS is shit..'' and other..
I presented results of tests and this helps you to select good software for capturing video from games.


But this is only my opinion.. Only YOU make decision,select the software which you like.

DONT forget! IF YOUR CAPTURED VIDEO DOES NOT WORKING IN VIDEO EDITOR (have very big bitrate) USE software VIRTUAL DUB to change bitrate and/or format.

Burebysta ms)

Poate si nu e voie.Oricum nui asa lege in care scrie ca interzis sa dai link pe cracked softwares,interzis numai sa uploadezi aici ( poate ma insel )

Sper ca acest guide voi fi util,si GMs o sa fac sticky ( macar in wow movies section).

sfat la culori: Rosu la chestii naspa, galben la medii, verde la chestii bune.

am o intrebare: PC meu-2 giga rami, proc 2.6 dual core, folosesc bandicam, si imi scade FPS-ul cam cu 20-30 (am in jur de 60 cand nu inregistrez, 35-40 cand filmez). Ce program crezi ca mi-ar creste putin FPS-ul? O sa filmez HD, pentru youtube, fara a pune efecte vizuale-adica nu imi trebuie o calitate foarte mare, doar 720 HD (adica n-o sa-l fac frostwindz style, ca un pom de craciun, cu luminite si glazura de fistic peste, il las clar, poate 2-3 stop cadru/slow motion ca sa se inteleaga fazele)

Also, ce program folosesti pentru editare? sony vegas sau after effects?

ma gandesc sa fac un tutorial feral PVP, si niste fun videos

acu nu cred ca o sa-ti sara vreun mod cu warnuri in cap ca ai pus 2 link-uri de download programe pentru filmat. Nu e nimic care ar dauna serverului in vreun fel.

MS pt sfat.

Deci la mine tot asa PC.Numai ca 75 FPS fara capturing/si 30-40 cu capture.
Daca vrei sa faci mai mult FPS decit este (30-40) trebuie sa citesti topicul meu urmator despre directx.
Dar la BAndicam - sfatu urmator - citeste guide meu in english section ( acolo am scris totul)
SI trebuie sa folosesti LAgarith codec/sau altu fara compression.
XVID/Mpeg/MJpeg - asta tot cu compression si face laggs/fps drops.
Nu uita sa faci FPS lock/sau Force FPS.
selectezi in setari 30 fps,si in afara de asta - lock FPS at 30.Si mereu o sa ai 30 fps ingame si la video.
Pentru HD asta e de ajuns ( daca nu faci slow-motion video effects) 2-3 slow effects e de ajuns

Software cu care fac videos e Pinnacle Studio HD 15.( tot cu collection of effects si plugins) in jur de 60 GB.
Program e foarte usor de folosit,si putin timp trebuie pt editare ( editare simpla)
Clar lucru ca daca vrei sa faci ca la drakedog - trebuie sa stai zilele si noptile)))

Deci azi toata ziua am testat DXtory - si va zic ca acest software lucreaza foarte rau cu external codecs...50% din codecs nici nu le supporta ca bandicam.
XVID (lossy codec) are bitrate de 1270000 Kbit/s adica tot aceeasi ca si lossless..
Si stiu o chestie - DXtory lucreaza bine NUMAI cu propriu codec.

*****************************

WARNING!
I tested DXtory softare - and result is = DXtory working bad with external codecs.
This is not good.only DXtory codec.

Personal folosesc MSI afterburner pt video capture...scoate videourile la calitatea jocului dar la un cost de vreo 50% din fpsuri...cand faceam record in WOW aveam vreo 50-60 de fpsuri in raidurile de 25...singuru dezavantaj e marimea mare a fisierelor care necesita compresie
PC specs
i5 2400 3.1
ASUS NVIDIA GTX 660
8gb RAM ddr3

Singura mea problema e programul cu care fac video editingu pt compresie. Imi puteti recomanda un program care sa pastreze calitatea videoului cat mai apropiata de original si eventual sa fie usor de utilizat?

Bizo - Pinnacle studio e usor de folosit ( dar greu de configurat calitate la output.) dar nu chiar asa de greu daca ai 16:9/4:3
Magix movie edit - usor de selectat calitate la output dar greu de editat ( mai usor decit sony vegas si altele)

Lolexwtf - Nu zic nimic,poate si e drept dar
Bandicam are multe configs/si poti selecta codecs.
Fraps are numai internal codec si acolo nu mai selectezi nimic.

Calitate la aceste softwares aproape tot aceeasi (lossless codec)

Eu am ales sa folosesc Fraps, e usor de folosit si cred ca e cel mai bun dintre cele de mai sus.
