Tips for recording videos played on 4K monitors Other Updates Update 101 - Using Google Chrome Canary browser 1. Use
Google Chrome Canary for recording instead of your usual Google Chrome
browser or other browsers. If you are not familiar with the Canary browser
open Update 101. This browser allows WM Capture to
capture Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and other streaming sites at the highest
quality using WM Capture Background mode. If not using the Canary browser,
you can also use other Chromium type browsers with video acceleration
disabled. 2.
Use the Background mode
from WM Capture Options, Switch to Background mode. If you are not
familiar with the Background mode check the Background mode. 3. Set
up the Video Format MP4 in Setting, Video Bitrate 8000 kbps and
Frame rate 30 fps. 4. If
your 4K monitor is an external monitor, we recommend
setting this monitor as Monitor #2, in other words, Monitor #1 is the monitor
where WM Capture opens. Unless you are using the external monitor as your
main monitor. Check Using a second monitor. 5. Set
up your Display resolution to 2560x1440. To do this,
right click the Desktop, click Display settings, then, under Display
resolution click the drop down arrow and select 2560x1440 (2K
resolution). Notes: a)
recording high quality videos, 30 fps
(frame per second) larger than HD size (1920x1080) on 4K monitors require
using an i7 / 4-core laptop or desktop, Windows 10, or Windows 11. Videos
larger than 2K will be recorded at lower fps. b)
using
the screen capture mode instead of the Background mode will result in lower
fps when recording 2K or larger size videos. c)
currently,
most streaming movies are broadcasted as full HD videos (1920x1080 / 60 fps)
not 4K or 2K. This makes it unnecessary to record a 4K or a 2K screen. You
can follow the procedure shown above to set up your display as 1920x1080
resolution. WM Capture will record the full screen at 60 fps. |
