Recording Media Players and Games
Media players and games display very high motion graphics and can take up a lot of CPU resources. This may result in blocky screen recordings. A high-end computer is required to handle both, the graphics and screen recordings.
You can prepare smooth screen recording by performing the following actions:
- Select WMV Motion and Music (Medium Resolution) (by default) for your screen recording from Tools >> Settings >> File Format Options. Every frame in the graphic is properly recorded. You may select WMV Motion and Music (Very High Resolution), but at times, recording at the maximum available frame rate may not provide smooth recordings. Moreover, capturing at a high frame rate requires a lot of CPU resources.
- Decrease the area of the screen to be recorded. If the software displays graphics in a window, use the Custom Region recording for that portion to be recorded.
On Windows 2000 and XP you need to turn off hardware acceleration. This allows you to record media player and games. However, some game applications may not work when hardware acceleration is disabled. You can always enable hardware acceleration after the recording.
