Recording Videos in Locomotion

Post by Majestic_Trains »

I'm going to record some videos from one of my locomotion save games, but my current screen recorder (OBS) records the screen squashed and in very low quality for some reason. It does not do this with other games, even others with different screen resolutions. Which screen recorder would people suggest to use?

What resolution are you playing Locomotion with and what resolution are you recording at? If your recording with a wide screen resolution like 1920x1080 or 1280x720 while playing Locomotion with something like 800x600, its going to get stretched out horizontally.

Either that or it'll look vertically squashed if your playing the game with a wide screen resolution like 1280x720 while recording in a square/4:3 aspect (like 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x960) then its going to get squashed vertically and make everything look taller and skinnier.

@Majestic_Trains,

Not sure whether you've resolved this issue or not, but I use Hypercam 2 myself. Seems to work OK for me. What is important is that I have to make sure that the recording resolution is the same as the game resolution,....not the monitor resolution
