Recording software

Shadowplay is definitely the easiest option but if you don't have a nvidia card then just use obs cause free ftw

OBS is very nice one. If you would like to pay and become a pro Camtasia is a very nice one as well.

Used FRAP on an external hard drive, not using any space, then to compress it with Sony Vegas

Its up to the end user. If you have a GeForce graphics card then try Shadow Play, if not then go ahead and try OBS. Both is great in my opinion.

Hypercam 3 unregistered. PURE quality man, that's why is always used.

obs all the way. it is a quality program with tons of features

OBD indeed its a really great softwere to use and easy to use!

Not sure how high the quality is, but OBS works pretty damn well.

I agree with the people up top obs is great for recording as long as you configure it well.

I use OBS frequently, and it always seems to work with little to no problem.
