Hi all I thought i'd put a few posts up helping to explain the software I use to STREAM and RECORD games. It is very easy to use and footage can easily be edited. I'm talking about OBS, open broadcaster software is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming .
Below is some information and videos to help.
Supported features include:
- Encoding using H264 (x264) and AAC.
- Support for Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) and NVENC.
- Unlimited number of scenes and sources.
- Live RTMP streaming to Twitch, YouTube, DailyMotion, Hitbox and more.
- File output to MP4 or FLV.
- GPU-based game capture for high performance game streaming.
- DirectShow capture device support (webcams, capture cards, etc).
- Windows 8 high speed monitor capture support.
- Bilinear or lanczos3 resampling.
