So I have been attempting to dip my toe in the waters of capturing some game-play on the ol PC and posting online. Starting small.....with just recording and posting, not streaming. Trouble is, I cant seem to get.....anything....right.
What I want to find is:
What is the best way to capture on the local system (have another system ready to go for doing the capture work but don't have a 4k capture card atm so I suppose the primary system will have to do).
What is the best way to playback such footage (So far I have just been using Shadowplay for 4k around 100mbps and VLC chokes on it, Windows Media Player is...Windows Media Player....MPC does a bit better but still poor playback).
Lastly, how can I actually get 4k when posting to, say, youtube? (Posted this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhwmR80gcPU a few days ago but still only showing up as 1080. (I have verified it is a 4k clip), I know 4k can take a while to show up but its been days. The file was massive of course (20GB) but while lowering the bitrate a ways produces a smaller file it also makes for a piss-poor final product).
Doing plenty of looking into it but so far I have yet to find the perfect (or even remotely close) solution. Numerously, so far, I cant get OBS Studio to even record at all. Set up at default settings with screen capture and even trying to record the desktop gets me nothing (can click start record, but it never does).
Anyhow, would be thrilled to get any advice. If I need to purchase additional software, that is not an issue within reason (a $500 piece of software may not be for me)....
Specs:
Win 10 64 Pro
i7 5930k
64GB DDR4
GTX 1080 FTW x2 SLi
Dual 1 TB EVOs
Plenty of other non-SSD storage on the local network
What else is relevant here?
