Top 3 Screen Capturing or Recording Software (Making Gameplay videos)




Last day i was planning to make some Gameplay videos of the new graphics card i bought. So,i went up searching on the internet to select the best Gameplay Recording software.But i didn't get what i needed and ended up downloading some of the popular soft.
I downloaded some of them and checked whether it has what i need.
Out of all the soft i found 4 of them to be really good.So,here's the review and all the major features of the top most and best screen recording software.



For some Records i just tested the capability of these software by capturing  a 720p video using them.The results are listed below each entries.


1.Fraps






This thing over here is the one which can definitely fill your gameplay making needs.It has got a very interactive and decent UI. You don't need to be a pro to work with this stuff.

  • Test results 

  1. Captured a 50 sec 720 p video using it.The video is only 50 sec long but it's of size='417 MB' .Ya,that's pretty large but the quality is good,appreciable (saves as .avi file).
  2. I also tested Fraps by making a gameplay video.Captured Its gameplay @1366*768 res and was nice(sized 1.6GB for 3:17 min video).But it lags a little on high graphics intense games because it eats up your frame rates. 
  3. It can only record game play or videos and not the desktop.
  4. sounds record-able.
Overall Its a good choice to select this as your only gameplay making soft.


2.Corel Screen Capture ProX6



It is not a single software rather it is an extension of the Corel video studio .It is a very powerful soft.can fulfill your entire desktop capturing needs.By using it you can capture videos of  a particular window or even the entire desktop at a time.


  • Test Results

  1. 50 sec video 30 fps -video size=11 mb really saves your time and space.saves as.wmv file
  2. sounds record-able.
  3. It struggles  while recording full screen enabled games(maybe the file defect).

3.Cam Studio & Snagit




     
both of them are light and good for screen recording
  • Cam studio takes up lot of space for recorded file while snagit is just fine.
  • Sounds enabled in cam studio but in snagit can't find an option to enable sound.
  • both of them captures good quality videos.
