So I am trying to record Ark @ 2K medium settings as I have a 2K monitor Dxtory FPS says game is running at high 70's low 80's but when I try to start it is stuck at INT. and will stay there no matter what. I tried playing with different setting but I am stuck now ..last time I had the same problem that it was being caused by Asus's Sonic Radar ..I dont have it installed this time but still having issues. It is with every game that I have launched, no matter what game. Any help would be greatly appreciated
In your errorlog:
PID:7096 TID:3540 TickCount: 2092312 VideoEncoderVCM::InitOnThread Error ICCompressBegin err=ICERR_BADFORMAT(-2)
PID:7096 TID:3540 TickCount: 2092312 VideoEncoderVCM::InitOnThread fcc=m701means codec with fcc=m701 (ie: Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame HD FCC:m701) has *some* issue encoding given video.
one google search later:
QuoteMatrox VFW MPEG-2 I-frame HD codec now lets you render and play back Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files in all HD formats (720p, 1440x1080i/p, and full-size 1080i/p)
my take on this is that the codec can apparently only do 720p, 1440x1080 and 1080p resolutions, 2560x1440 is not supported. Use a different codec
First off ...thanks for the incredibly fast response, any recommendation on a good plug in that would allow me to do this? Thanks in advance
My go-to codec for all recording is MagicYUV. Though, if you're accustomed to using lossy codecs, you might struggle with disk IO and/or filesizes. 2560x1440 @ 60 fps starts to get *quite* a disk space hog. IIRC MagicYUV it started using around 70-100 MB/s at that resolution & framerate.
Other than that.. x264vfw? Though it might use quite a bit of cpu. I'm not really sure if there are all that many fast enough lossy vfw codecs out there
Otherwise, maybe OBS & nvenc? Shadowplay?
Thanks again. .how is the quality of the recording with those codecs?...I tried OBS but felt no matter what settings were set it just felt subpar compared to DxTory. Anyways will play around with the codec mentioned above.
magicyuv is lossless. so quality is as good as it gets
you can get lossless with obs too, if thats what you're aiming for
