What is the best FREE gameplay video recording (and editing) software?

rb2001✭✭✭✭FRAPS is a good start, but it's more of a technical tool. Not sure about recording quality, but it does record.1 -
Belidos✭✭✭✭✭FRAPS is good, but it only records for about 30 seconds on the free version, if you want longer videos you have to buy it.2 -

Aerieth✭✭✭If you're on Windows 10, you can use Game DVR to record. It's part of the Xbox app. You might need to setup and/or sign in on a Xbox account to activate it, but it works perfectly.
It's free with the OS and I'm loving it so far! Files are far smaller than FRAPS videos, doesn't seem to affect game performance at all and it's automatically enabled when you boot the game. You just need to hit a hotkey and it'll start recording. You can even have it automatically keep the last 30 seconds (up to 10 minutes) recorded at all times in case something comes up and you want to catch it on video.
37 minutes of 1080p video is taking 4.46 GB instead of FRAPS's raw video which is taking the same for less than a minute.Edited by Aerieth on September 19, 2015 4:39AM@Aerieth - PC EU Megaserver

From patch notes long forgotten:
"Fixed an issue if you had a summoned pet, it could potentially be grabbed by an invisible Molag-Bal and get stuck in a floating posture."
"Dogs can no longer teleport while chasing cats (much to the disappointment of the dogs)."0 -

Thanks Aerieth. After all this, upgrading to Windows 10, setting up Xbox live etc, it won't let me use DVR as my vid card isn't on the approved list >< GG Microsoft
Back to OBS it is then.0 -
LiquidZ✭✭✭OBS is really simple to setup and there are tutorials on how to set it up where you are recording good quality without any loss of framerate. As far as editing goes I use Sony Vegas but I wouldn't exactly call it "free."0
-
KronicDecay✭✭✭I use bandicam for recording my videos. Free version allows you to record up to 10 mins. Although its not too hard to get a key for it..0 -
Carter_DC✭✭✭I always use the Nvidia shadowplay which comes with the Geforce experience software (available for any recent nvidia graphic card).
It has virtually no impac on CPU or GPU performances but a small delay when launching the record.
U have to enable desktop recording however to record ESO gameplays.

✭✭✭✭✭Had really good success with obs. You may need to tinker with the settings, but it's extremely easy to use and has great results. Open source ftw0 -

Nvidia recently updated the Shadowplay functionality so you can now stream your games to a friend over wi-fi and have them control the game for you. It's pretty awesome and the game DVR feature is very good and at a very good quality with minimal/ zero performance drop. You do need to have a 650 ti or newer to access these features but imo it is worth every penny.0 -

You can do that via steam, and it works better
(if you didn't know about network streaming steam: If you open steam on your main PC you can then load steam on a second PC on the same network using the same steam account and instead of play buttons you will get stream buttons which when clicked will load a game on your main PC and stream it to the other PC where you can control it, it works really well and I've actually played eso using my tablet lol)Edited by Belidos on September 24, 2015 8:06AM0
