Hello. I do a lot of programming, both for school projects and to just mess around with ideas. I mainly use Java, but increasingly I've begun using bindings to high-performance runtimes like OpenCL and OpenGL in my programs. Given the school's computers, this leaves me in a predicament where my code can only really be run in real time (or at all) on my desktop at home. The least I could do is show a video demonstrating my applications for a class whenever I have to present, and it would also be nice to upload videos to demonstrate success in anything out-of-school.
I thus need a low-overhead video capture solution for capturing video of my programs and games at work.
My relevant system specs are as follow:
CPU: 3770k on Z77 platform
GPU: GTX690 (at times, I may be using both video cores asynchronously, requiring all 16 lanes to be dedicated to the card for an x8/x8 split as opposed to an x16/x16 or x8/x8 clone, so I can't use a PCI-reliant solution)
Memory: 16 gigs (I doubt my applications will ever push total usage up past 10, so a capture solution that involves some memory overhead is OK)
Storage: 180GB SSD + 1TB WD-Black + 1TB External USB 3.0 drive
Display configuration: I'm using the Mini-Displayport out on my 690, converted to HDMI with a dongle, and plugged into a 1080p display (technically a Panasonic TV).
In terms of the video capture, I don't need anything super fancy. 1080p is a necessity, but 60FPS is not, 30 is okay for my purposes. Also, I don't need raw capture, I'm okay with a little compression as long as it doesn't detract from any aesthetic values drastically. And I don't see myself ever capturing video longer than 30 minutes, if that.
A little bit of CPU overhead or RAM overhead is okay, but I need virtually 0 GPU overhead.
I have provided all these specs because I'm not very familiar in this area, and I don't know if the ideal solution would be independent of the video-producing system or not.
Any suggestions or information would be appreciated.
