Thank you for both of the responses. I didn’t even think about the fact that the onboard encoder was for a different chipset. I don’t HAVE to use the NVenc, however I was using for the sake of quality V.s. Size.

I’m recording mostly applications that require DirectX9+ (Games, Cinematics, and some DX loadings screens), So i have to use an application that can directly bind itself to anything DX. I only have a few choices as to what I can record my screen with. I have two raw data formats. RGB26 and YV12, which seem to be a bit more stable; They take up WAY too much space though. My other options would be Xvid or Mpeg-1.

I could custom install a different codec, but which codec would allow me to keep my frame rates acceptable while recording and also maintaining a decent level of quality?

I picked the NVenc because it was the fastest codec for the quality and size, but if I can use more space while keeping the quality and speed the same I will definitely do it. I’m a little new to this right now, any advice is helpful. Thanks!
