screen capture tips ====================================================================== NEW WM Capture D3D recording (HD/4K movies and video
games captured from your computer screen) ====================================================================== The
importance of resizing Suppose you
are recording a Netflix movie played full screen on your HD computer monitor.
If your Internet connection isn't fast enough or your computer's CPU gets
overloaded, the quality of the recorded video is likely to be lower than the
original. Often, the issue isn’t your computer but the web browser (like
Chrome), which reduces the broadcasted video size (bit rate) to maintain
smooth data flow without buffering or to avoid overloading the CPU. You can
check the broadcast’s size and other parameters by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D on your keyboard with the Netflix video being
only video running on the desktop. Furthermore, repeated browser
reconnections to accommodate a smaller video size may sometime lead to out of
sync audio. On a 2K or 4K
display, this issue can become even more severe. In reality, most streaming
videos are transmitted at a resolution of 1920x1080 or lower, so capturing
the full UHD screen is unnecessary. Browsers like Chrome and others continue
to reduce the size of the streamed video by short reconnections, leading to
the problems mentioned earlier. One
alternative for the screen capture programs is to include resizing software
that downscale the recorded video size to smaller sizes while keeping the
playback in full screen. Attempts by some screen capture programs like OBS to
do this on computers not using NVIDIA were not successful due to the high amount of computations. The result are recorded videos
with poor video quality and choppy motion. Computers using the NVIDIA hardware
do not need resizing. Even less expensive NVIDIA computers and laptops can
screen capture high quality Fullscreen UHD displays without the need for
resizing. WM Capture
uses a simple approach by resizing the entire video window to a smaller
resolution, such as 1920x1080 or 1280x720, during recording. It achieves this
by preserving the previously selected playback area of the video window. When
the recording is played back, the computer can utilize the upscaling
capabilities of common media players like Windows Media Player, VLC, or the
DVD player to enlarge the smaller recorded window to full screen. This
approach results in video quality that is close to the original and maintains
a high frame rate when viewed on high-resolution displays. More details about
