recording with a cpu intensive encoder (ie. high compression x264) raises frametimes (Note: FRAME TIMES) by 5~10ms. I'm normally getting 8~9ms, so another 5~10ms more and it's stutter hell. I'm assumning because clock cycles spent doing D3D stuff is shared with encoding i/o.

You should OC your CPU. Play Dx8.1 because it has very slightly lower frametimes than DX9, evident with results in the tf2 benchmark thread.

Try recording with motion-jpeg, frametimes will hardly increase and game is perfectly smooth.

*frametimes were measured using msi-afterburner.

You're welcome.

x264vfw is outdated and isn't maintained like its cli variant.

or use handbrake.

Only the final recording should be in lossy x264.

-Set microphone record as the same button as mumble's push to talk. if you bound it to a mouse button, you need a seperate software. I use something called "push to talk solution for windows 7 and 8"
-choose encoder/frame rate/etc...
I have enough space and CPU/disk speed to use a lossless encoder (UT Video / Lagarith).
You can use x264vfw, but that's horribly out dated. Use OBS if you don't have disk space.

If you need to encode to h264 / x264, use obs but I'm not sure how it handles push to talk.

god damn it, saltybet has been stuck on the sayaka vs fake ass knuckles for like 20 minutes already...

These were everywhere where I used to live.

~1500$ is more than enough for any high end PC including accessories.

Remove prec if you have it installed.

so....how much are tickets?

All Hail the Rare Akuma.

Do you use virtualdub to mux the image sequence and audio into an AVI container?

Use virtualDub's external encoder feature instead (the 1.10.3 beta). It's going to have the latest encoders. Handbrake is still using old versions of x264 and there has been encoding improvements in the later versions, especially for the new AVX2 instruction set.

And then there's the choice of AAC encoders. QAAC/NeroAAC/FAAC. Pick your poison.

For an mp4 muxer, mp4box is the solution.
