AC Multiclass Abarth500/MazdaMX5@Fuji, Wed 22nd March 2023

Assetto Corsa Racing Club event
I think it was Theo's car that was jumping around in t1.

Ricardo, what do you use for screen recording?

I was playing around for the first time with streaming recently and used OBS Studio for my triples as you can select the area that is captured. I presume that's the same for recording as it is for streaming.

OBS is free, too. :)
I just used default windows software for the video.
Windows + G for the gaming interface (Xbox screen or whatnot) where you have access to the screen recording widget. Or Windows + Shift + R as Robert mentioned, but then you don't know where your recordings will land.

Then I've used Video Editor which comes standard with windows to trim/split the recordings. It's very limited in what it can do, but in that it's simple to use.

Music was added in Youtube Editor after uploading the video as I mentioned in my previous message.

Ricardo, that was me spinning but not lag/physics related. Unfortunately I chose to knock over a few cones to keep a tight line into t1 but the track modder decided that at least one of them was going to be solid so I hit it like a rock. :(

Yeah! Cones made of steel! You gotta watch out for those :roflmao:

Good racing between us for the last laps, you almost had me a few times but I was just fast enough in the first 2 sectors to have a big enough gap to overcome your advantage in the finish straight.

Good racing indeed, thank you. And if I hadn't had that lapse in concentration that allowed you through it would be me in the defending position for those last 10 min.
I don't really know what happened: my mind went blank and I missed the braking point, then had to slam the brakes and of course lost control into the turn, allowing you to breeze by.

Yes, in fact the obs window/frame selection doesn't know whether you're streaming or recording.
If you didn't already, you should check what OBS is using to record. For me, it defaults to cpu H264 recording, which killed my fps with the 10600k.
If you have an nvidia gpu, select nvenc!
And I think OBS supports the Radeon stuff too by now?

With nvenc, you only take away a little bit of the max power and about 3% gpu performance.

I never notice it at all, brilliant :)
I use the windows built in win+start+r shortcut, (xbox recording?) for recording offline. Once streaming gets involved though, OBS is hard to beat :thumbsup:
Same question but different: is this using the cpu or is it using nvenc?

I disabled all the game bar xbox etc stuff since I'm using OBS since a few years now.

Are you talking about Clip Champ or something else?
If you're using clip champ, you might run into a full C drive at some point.
Even though I deleted all projects in clip champ, it still kept all the copies of my source files somewhere in the AppData folder!

I'm using it to quickly cut my Kitesurf videos and send the snipes out to my Kite buddies.
6 minutes = 4 GB so my AppData was about 140 GB after 3 months...

Not that I am aware of, just a standard windows app called literally "Video Editor".
If you have Windows 10 or 11 just use the search bar and it should pop-up.

And yeah, replays + recordings + video projects = a lot of hard drive allocation.
  • Replay: ~1 GB
  • 2 Recordings: 110 MB (330 MB actually)
    • While looking things up I've noticed the editor just copied the same 2 recordings into 2 different locations, tripling its footprint :confused: Thanks for bringing the topic up, otherwise I would never noticed.
  • Finished video: 130 MB
It adds up pretty quickly!
 
Ah okay, yeah I never used it in Windows 10 and win 11 comes with clip champ, which is a pretty cool, tiny tool.
Apart from this:

Exactly.. And I don't get it.. It's probably so that you can delete the source files as soon as you imported them but I'd like to keep my source files on my 2 TB external ssd and not fill up my 300 GB C drive!
If you could select the "caching folder" it might be fine but it doesn't even delete these copied files when deleting the project!


I can highly recommend the free tool "WizTree" btw. I use it whenever I think I should clean up my drives.
Scans whole drives within seconds and sorts everything by size.

Be aware though: it shows the theoretical size of cloud files that aren't synced yet and only show up as clickable (onedrive for me).

I have switched it to hardware encoding which I presume is on the GPU. I have a AMD Radeon 6800. Short tests on AC and Counterstrike broadcasting on Twitch doesn't seem to impact my fps noticeably.
