So, I want to do a FSX video for Youtube. I did some research and MSI AfterBurner seems to be the best capture software for now, it's free and people say it doesn't take too much fps.

 

I tried to capture from my FSX which runs locked at 30fps with no problem, full screen, 1920X1200, 30Frames with no compression and the FPS went from 30 to 10fps when I started recording. Is it always that bad? I don't want to lower the quality of the capture, it will already loose quality when I upload it to youtube, so I want to work with no compression at all, but the fps drop is too high.

 

I thought my PC, with a GTX 670 would handle this better.

 

Any tips??

Just found out what the problem was.

 

Anti Aliasing. WoW, now I get 30fps locked with no AA. Didn't know it affected the fps so much! Now I Guess I have to add some blur to the end movie to smooth the jaggies

I'm glad you located the answer and also came back to share it with us. Your reply may help another user someday!

Another thing you can do to help is if you have another hard drive in your computer when recording a video, have to video written to your non FSX drive. What most people do is they fly their flight recording it with FS recorder. This doesnt actually record the video but the flight data. This can then be re-played and the beauty is that you can then watch/record the video (I use the pay version of FRAPS) from any angle or view you want.
