Hi,
we have threads for capture cards and capturing with 2nd computer with capture HW, but easiest way and often good enough is capture on same computer as you play through software.. I checked Wikipedia and other comparison, but it seems that games capturing is not primary goal and because i have bad memory, i need something better.

I created stub of some comparison online Google sheets table:

For sake of this thread lets pretend than GPU accelerated capturing is also software way.

We can add even Dos, but someone knew something good (screenshots only of course), i tried quite few of Dos utilities, but i always found some major flaws.. and now with virtual machines and Dosbox is often easier way to capture something.

So if someone has knowledge of these things or want to do research i can give him editing rights, everyone elese can comment right now.

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

Looks like a good start. Watching with interest.

I did a bunch of work a while ago to find a reliable DOS screenshot app, for taking shots of demoscene stuff for Pouet, but I can't remember what I settled on. I'll look that up if you're interested. AFAIK there's no general purpose video recorder for DOS (excepting emulators), so screenshots are the best you'd get.
