Introduction
As some of you know, I am recording every my game. It started on the old server as a way to prevent regulars' abuse towards me, as I was mere unregistered player for around a year. I keep this habit until now, it helps to deal with rulebreakers and save funny and interesting moments from my gaming experience. Some people were independenty asking me what software I am using and how to configure it properly, that's why I decided to make this tutorial.
I will explain how to configure and use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), because it is the best recording tool I have met so far. But before it I'd like to overview a few other popular tools.
1. FRAPS (the worst)
This one is likely the most popular. It is not free so you need to buy it (or find an alternative solution) to use it without restrictions. There are no additional settings, and the output file will be always uncompressed avi; one hour of video will be around 32Gb! Besides, it can cause uncommon FPS drops while recording even on powerful PCs, and it is not really compatible with other recording tools. But at least the quality will be perfect; in your video you will see exactly the same that you've been seeing on your screen while playing. Probably the worst option to use.
2. Dxtory (satisfactory)
It is also commercial software. It is way better than FRAPS, it provides additional options but recording like limiting your FPS. As for recording, it allows you to choose video codec and some more settings. But your output file will be avi once again of around 8GB per hour if you use standard Dxtory video codec. It caused noticeable FPS drop on my PC (which is quite good and modern) even after some playing with settings. Better than FRAPS, but still far from perfect.
3. Bandicam (quite good)
Another one commercial tool, but this one is quite nice. It also features some nice things like limiting your FPS on key press. And you can record mp4 files just by picking respective option in the settings! The quality is quite nice, and your resulting file will have the size of ~4.5Gb per hour. But it can also cause spontaneous slight FPS drops, which is generally fine, but annoys me sometimes. If you are really lazy and not too demanding to your recordings, that's probably your choice. But it lacks customization, and you can't record in other formats but avi and mp4, so if your game, or recording software, or video driver crashes, your recording will be irreversibly gone. Another pleasant benefit, which is not related to GTA SA though, is that it supports almost all of the versions of DirectX. That means that you will be able to record ancient clumsy games without any graphic artifacts - other tools can hardly reach this.
4. OBS (the best so far)
I'll simply state the reasons why I prefer this one over all:
- It is free;
- It is highly customizable, which allows to configure it properly to reach the optimal quality/performance/file size balance on practically any machine;
- It supports a lot of output file types including unbreakable flv;
- It is lightweight itself, it won't consume much of your resources (if configured properly);
- It is easy to use.
It is compatible with other recording tools (say, you can use dxtory to limit your FPS along with OBS), an hour of my recording weights around 1.6Gb, it has zero impact on my FPS, and the quality remains quite good - you can take a look at the videos on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIqx905MCWJ82YFFKQJKPjw).
Basic configuration
Follow these steps to make it work:
1. Download (https://obsproject.com/download) (scroll down to the classic one) and install it. You can use OBS Studio though, but I prefer more lightweight and simple OBS Classic; I'll cover it in my tutorial.
2. Open the program, press RMB on "Scenes" area and pick "Add scene". It will be a scene for GTA SA; I'd suggest calling it so to prevent confusion.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/29frthv.jpg)
(http://i64.tinypic.com/2ltlwlt.jpg)
3. Launch the game, minimize it and press RMB on "Sources" area, then pick "Add -> Game Capture". Give it some proper name to prevent any confusion too.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/14cr29e.jpg)
4. Select your "GTA:SA:MP" application in the opened window and press "OK".
(http://i68.tinypic.com/6fs8hs.jpg)
5. Go to "Settings -> Settings -> Broadcast Settings" and switch the mode to "File output only". Additionally specify your path to the output file along with its extension. I suggest using *.flv, and I will explain in the end why, but it's up to you. By the way, $T just means that your file name will be a timestamp of recording start second (format: year-month-day-hourminute-second).
(http://i64.tinypic.com/2yl00pi.jpg)
You can start to use OBS now, but you might want to play with settings in order to reach optimum quality/size/performance balance - read further in order to achieve it.
Advanced (yet advised) configuration
6. Go to Video tab and make sure that your primary video adapter is selected if you've got more than one. Additionally you can change your frame resolution.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/ejyjd1.jpg)
7. Now go to Encoding tab and put the following:
- Use CBR: unchecked;
- Quality Balance: 10;
- Bitrate: 1000;
- Use Custom Buffer Size: checked;
- Buffer Size: 0.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/mshe05.jpg)
8. Go to Advanced tab and put the following:
- x264 CPU Preset: Ultrafast (NB! If your PC is not that good and you face sufficient FPS drops or CP load during recording, start with gradually lowering this setting, it usually helps);
- Use Custom x264 Parameters: check;
- Custom x264 Encoder Settings: "crf=" and an integer value bigger or equal to 1. The lower it is, the better the quality is, but it also increases your file size and CPU usage. You might need to play with it for a while; I use 25.
(http://i66.tinypic.com/jj4j6g.jpg)
9. Check Audio tab to configure your sound recording. For example, I don't want any sounds from my microphone to be recorded, so I've just disabled it.
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2u4r0j9.jpg)
Everything is done :), you can start recording by picking your scene and pressing "Start recording" button on right or assigning a hotkey for it. If you launched any other recording software like Dxtory, a warning will pop up when you start recording, but you can simply skip it.
The only thing left I'd like to tell you about is why it is preferrable to use flv.
About flv
The point is, avi and mp4 files need finalization after they are created - it will write all metadata needed to the end of the file. If your game, or OBS, or video driver, or Windows crash, your file will be corrupted with the slight possibility of being restored as OBS doesn't use constant framerate. But it will never happen with flv, as this format writes your video file just as a bit stream, so your recording won't guaranteely go anywhere. You need additional software to play flv files like VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/), and you'll likely want to convert your file to mp4 without loosing quality. Follow these steps in order to do it:
1. Download ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) for Windows and unpack ffmpeg.exe from the archive anywhere you like;
2. In the same folder create a file called ffmpeg.bat, edit it with any text editor and put the following contents there:
ffmpeg.exe -i input_filename.flv -c copy -f mp4 output_filename.mp4
pause
3. Each time you need to convert your flv file, edit your ffmpeg.bat and replace input_filename.flv with your actual file name, and output_filename.mp4 with your desired output filename, then start this file and wait for a few minutes.
Using replay buffer
Thanks to Mia for this useful addition.
As some people have mentioned, it's usually more practical to save only the last minutes (for example, after an epic move or after you see someone breaking the rules) than keeping the whole gaming session.
OBS does support this, under the name Replay buffer. You need to do a few things to be able to use this:
1. Go to settings.
(http://i.imgur.com/uSDwWS1.png)
2. Go to Broadcast settings.
3. Pick a file path to save your replay buffers (you can choose any, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the one for normal recordings).
4. Enter a replay buffer length (in seconds). For example, if you want to keep the last 9 minutes (like I do), simply pick 9 * 60 = 540.
(http://i.imgur.com/JptTiCQ.png)
5. Go to Hotkeys settings.
6. Pick a hotkey for:
- a) Start Replay Buffer. Every time you press this key, OBS will start capturing your game, but it will not create a video file.
- b) Stop Replay Buffer. Every time you press this key, OBS will no longer capture your game.
- c) Save Replay Buffer. Use this key when you want to save what was captured in your last minutes of gameplay. This generates a video file in the file path you wrote in step 3. If you don't use this key, all what was recorded in the last minutes won't be saved.

That's it, I tried to cover everything in this tutorial so it would be easy even for those who haven't ever been recording anywhere. Record your game, report hackers (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?board=10.0) and share your interesting moments (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=138.0). If you've got any questions, feel free to post them here. :)

I've used Fraps, Bandicam and Dxtory. Fraps causes a lot of lag while recording but somehow I'm still using it with the best settings. Bandicam is also good and runs smooth but doesn't give good Video quality. I didn't know that much about OBS so I'm going to try it now. Thanks Altus ;D , this topic is quite informative and helpful for me.

OBS is Really helpful you must try it :D ,
BTW Thanks Altus :D
-
Nice tutorial !
I use Bandicam too, never tried OBS though, might take a look. :)
-
Tounsix should see here first! Good job Altus
-
Thanx altus I will try OBS
-
Thx altus !
I was using fraps...like you said just 15 mins of recording you find a video with more then 20 GB... Then i had to converte it wich make the quality bad.
+ FPS dropped too.
-
OBS IS THE BEST FOR INGAME CAPTURE AND LIVESTREAMS!!
(CUZ I RECORD FIFA VIDEOS EVERY TIME)
-
altus you my man are serioulsy good in making turtorials. nice,clean and good to understand. you should go and start to make more of these. :P
-
Thx demens
-
That's pretty good thanks! i'ven ever tried the others, but OBS yes in another game but the problem is when i start recording with OBS i start lagging idk why and my fps too is down
-
I have a software that allows me to record with 175 fps, and I can even press a key to save my past “2minutes to 30minutes” of gameplay, so I rarely use manual recording, always “saving” Clips with 1080HD 60Fps.

The name of that software please :D . And thanks altus for the info but you can also use xboxlive in WIN10 if you to record gameplays.

Using non-stop recording to 1 file instead of using "save x last minutes"? I do not think so.
See abuser - tap X and save 1 last min. And do not wasting time to lurk into ur 2 hour video and cut what u need.
Using 264 codec to film long videos? Dont think so.
>Use CBR: unchecked;
What does that mean, you do not know difference between CBR and VBR?
There are programms that much better and easier to use for tasks you mentioned.

Great job Altus! Nice tutorial :)

Shadowplay is a great alternative for those with Nvidia graphics cards.

oh thx very much that help me

Great tutorial Altus! :D

Nice !

Thank you all for your positive replies. :)
And thanks altus for the info but you can also use xboxlive in WIN10 if you to record gameplays.
I haven't ever used it since I discourage don't use Windows 10. But if you overviewed it, I think I'd add it to my comparison part of the post.
Using non-stop recording to 1 file instead of using "save x last minutes"? I do not think so.
See abuser - tap X and save 1 last min. And do not wasting time to lurk into ur 2 hour video and cut what u need.
I don't honestly understand why everyone likes this feature that much. I am aware of it, but I never use it, since it doesn't satisfy my demands. To the end of the game I want to have a file which contains the recording of all of my game session. I will decide what to do with it post factum. Although this feature might be extremely useful on weaker machines...
Using 264 codec to film long videos? Dont think so.
Why not? As long as I am aware, it is the best choice. What would you suggest?
>Use CBR: unchecked;
What does that mean, you do not know difference between CBR and VBR?
Yes, it means that VBR (variable bitrate) will be used instead of CBR (constant bitrate). It is, together with zero buffer size which disables VBV (video buffering verifier), required in order to reach the desired CRF (x264 constant rate factor).
There are programms that much better and easier to use for tasks you mentioned.
Probably there are - but for the tasks you have mentioned. As far as I am aware OBS is the best tool to reach the goals I need. Although it would be interesting and useful for us all if you shared your experience and thoughts about that.
As some people have mentioned, it's usually more practical to save only the last minutes (for example, after an epic move or after you see someone breaking the rules) than keeping the whole gaming session. (...)
Thank you, according to the replies, it is quite useful addition. I will put it into my post.
Shadowplay is a great alternative for those with Nvidia graphics cards.
Oh yeah, I should've added it as well. Unfortunately, for whatever reason it has never worked properly for me, although I was (almost) always using NVIDIA video adapters - I faced constant crashes on all of my PCs. Nevertheless, if you could overview it, I'd definitely add it to my post.

Trying this later.

Very useful for my members, thanks!
1. FRAPS (the worst)
This one is likely the most popular. It is not free so you need to buy it (or find an alternative solution)

Okay I tired installing it again and focused on it,Everything is alright expect that the videos I record are all black ( I can hear sound btw),As I searched its due the two carte graphics,I got two,And OBS only shows the IntelHD graphics 3000 and dosent show the amd radeon gaming graphic carte,( its turns on automaticly on gaming)Any soultion?

Oh, Toun... I am not a telepathist. Mention your laptop model when you ask such questions, please.
Anyways... The best solution is to stay away from AMD Radeon based laptops with switchable graphics. They are generally extremely problematic in terms of gaming.
Most likely the problem is that AMD GPU (video adapter) has no physical direct connection to the screen. It means that your integrated video adapter will be always responsible for outputting the image to your screen and there is no workaround, because it is a hardware issue. Those are possible solutions:
- Go to BIOS and check if there is an option to set primary video adapter. If yes, pick your AMD one. It will work if my assumption above was wrong;
- When you pick a source (step 3 in my tutorial), pick "Monitor capture" instead of "Game capture". It would be ten times worse, but better than nothing;
- Don't use OBS, try Bandicam, but I don't know how it would behave.
-
Shadowplay is the best for me, it's quite easy to use and was coded by the nvidia developers to allow direct utilization from the gpu for minimum performance impacts. It can also record the last 1 to 20 minutes of gameplay based on what you prefer and has the option to directly render and upload the video to your youtube account while you're playing.
you'll need an Nvidia card though which is the downside to this.

Great Tutorial ;)

same problem like Tounsix have,graphics are also the same. I tried your solution Altus,it didin't help.

Looks like i had the same problem that it didnt record
i have sorted out the problem
i dont know why but it is here
OBS doesnt record in fullscreen. IF YOU TRY TO RECORD THE GAMEPLAY IN WINDOWED MODE IT WILL RECORD
now how to open san andreas in windowed mode?
here is a dll file you have to put it in the main folder of gta san andreas
http://www.mediafire.com/file/e0v30jdzp2p250z/d3d9.dll
well it worked out for me and i hope it works for you tounsix and crash

Maybe you download the latest version??? You should download OBS Classic..
-
I also have radeon + intel 3000, yeah, it is so problematic, drivers and etc. But i never had a problems with black screen. But from my experience i can say that it is all about drivers. You can spent shit load of time and try to find some old drivers for your radeon, and prob it will not work too.
Anyway, you can do 2 things - try it on another game and try another similar prog to identify core of the problem.
-
Well I've said it before and I'll say it again :D If you've got win10 you can simply record with Xbox Live

Best configuration for Bandicam? ;)
-
Hi have a problem i install OBS studio 64 bit (that include Intel® RealSense™ SDK Runtime)
i try to use the same that you say but i can get banned 2 times today,
i dont know is the setting or something more the problem
http://imgur.com/a/JMecv
i post this because another players have the same problem and if have a solution
now i gonna intall the OBS Classic and test
;D ;D
-
Good job mate!
-
@Panal_Abeja
Because this tutorial is outdated.
OBS has now another version, totally another settings, use another tutorials from youtube.
-
@Panal_Abeja
I think i found the problem is i press ok and no see the "anti cheat compatibility" is in default checked

-
@solod, I think he downloaded OBS studio(more features i guess) instead of OBS classic that is described in the tutorial. Basic settings should be the same anyway.
-
Anyway, i checked and OBS is more "heavy" than bandicam, even when you use "save last 1 min" in OBS and endless recording in bandicam.

OBS makes my game laggy as hell while Fraps runs smoothly. I have an i7 4700HQ, doesn't look like my processor is the problem.
Another problem with OBS is that it doesn't handle well the spreading of resolution. I play at 1280 x 720 at a 1920 x 1080 screen. What does OBS do? It captures the screen with black borders around it. What does it record when I set the resolution in OBS at 1280 x 720? It simply records only the most left part of the screen(so only a part of the screen).
Edit: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/gamecapture-thick-black-borders.3261/
Fixed that, but I still need to find how to lose the FPS drops.
Edit2: Think I fixed it. FPS set to 60 and cpu preset to "veryfast". Will comment later on how it runs after some more testing.

Please, ask your questions either in this topic or PM me and be more attentive: it has been mentioned in the main post.
5. Go to "Settings -> Settings -> Broadcast Settings" and switch the mode to "File output only". Additionally specify your path to the output file along with its extension. I suggest using *.flv, and I will explain in the end why, but it's up to you. By the way, $T just means that your file name will be a timestamp of recording start second (format: year-month-day-hourminute-second).

Umm Altus what if i alter bitrate?
-
Altus, can you show me some recording tips(updated) for OBS, please?
-
This tutorial is outdated, and yes, the new OBS Studio now has all the features I consider essential. It can compete with Shadowplay if configured properly.
I'll update the tutorial when I have time.

How does Nvidia Shadowplay compare to OBS?
I'm completely satisfied with Shadowplay but that 1 hour of gameplay taking only 1.6GB is quite appealing considering my extremely low disk space. If possible I'd also like to have a video recorded with OBS, please.
Thanks ;D

How does Nvidia Shadowplay compare to OBS?
Shadowplay is a recording tool that has/works with Instant Replay mode. The users of it can save the last 30 mins session by hitting a hotkey you configured. It can capture game videos with 4k content quality and it can offer 60 fps rating. It'll automatically run on the background when you start playing a game, also it doesn't affect your system performance whilst OBS is for everyone with its advanced video recording abilities and good for livestreaming too.
I'm completely satisfied with Shadowplay but that 1 hour of gameplay taking only 1.6GB is quite appealing considering my extremely low disk space. If possible I'd also like to have a video recorded with OBS, please.
Thanks ;D
The difference between the two is that OBS can be configured easily than Shadowplay, OBS affects your system performance even if someone is using limited frame rates, OBS can take lesser memory from the hard dish while Shadowplay requires more memory and if it comes to "Edit" then OBS should be the one you'll choose because it allows access to plugins, multiple scenes, etc,... but Shadowplay has only one service which is record your gaming hours. It's up to you if you want OBS. One of the users of OBS here I know is Altus. Try questioning him for more and he has many videos with the use of OBS. Sometimes my FPS while recording is 80-110 or something with OBS.

How does Nvidia Shadowplay compare to OBS?
Shadowplay is a recording tool that has/works with Instant Replay mode. The users of it can save the last 30 mins session by hitting a hotkey you configured. It can capture game videos with 4k content quality and it can offer 60 fps rating. It'll automatically run on the background when you start playing a game, also it doesn't affect your system performance whilst OBS is for everyone with its advanced video recording abilities and good for livestreaming too.

Alright, I'll send you the link that I'm currently using but you have to wait for me to send the link, I'm busy with something at the moment. Btw, it gives me 80-110 fps and I'm not sure about yours though.

If you are a Windows 10 user like me, nothing beats XBOX Gamebar which is preinstalled with Windows for recording your gameplay as the video quality is excellent (1080p - 60fps), video size is bearable, and FPS drop to the best of my knowledge is minimal compared to other recorders that I have experimented with. Icing on the cake is the replay buffer which saves last x seconds of your gameplay (like OBS, Shadowplay) so you don't miss anything crucial. It's also worth mentioning that it requires literally no setting up unlike OBS or other recorders nor do you have to turn it on everytime you start your game.
