Don't I need to turn on Aero mode? Because I don't quite know how to do that. The setting to record desktop is unchangeable. Is this tutorial correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6xNjfRkMuo

I'm trying to record Minecraft and it won't work

More about : record desktop nvidia shadowplay

You can't. ShadowPlay only works in full screen gaming. Before you ask, no it doesn't work with Minecraft full screen either. ;)  I've been through the motions with this problem myself. Your best solution is to get another recording software (I would strongly recommend OBS -- Open Broadcast Software). It can record in full HD video, stream to Twitch.tv or what have you.

Hope I helped. Cheers!

You can record Minecraft in Desktop Mode:

NVidia HAS added Desktop recording but I can't get it to work.

When you click "Allow Desktop capture" the screen goes black quickly, however not only does recording not do anything I also have no Status Indicator.

I'm not sure if it's a glitch with Windows 8 (I just updated to Windows 8.1 Update 1) or what.

Thanks for the answers guys! I got it working now. Reason I'm using shadow play, is because fraps makes minecraft lag spike hardly. I just tried it with shadow play, and same results. Prob because it doesn't really record Mimecraft itself. Does anyone know any recording program that records with good frames and good quality? I've tried bandicam, but it only lowered frames by 10 and lags once in a while. Dxtory, I've tried the free version, recording was fine, but viewing the video was like looking at something that went from 60 fps to 30 to 20 then back up to 60

I don't quite understand your issue with Desktop recording.

You say "makes minecraft lag spike hardly" for FRAPS and that you get the same results in Shadowplay?

SilverMonkss,

He already said it's working now. He answered on the 20th April.

I still don't understand his "lag spike" comment though.

I use Mirillis Action. It is the best program that I've found to record game play. I tried everything that I could find but Action is the only one that could give me the quality that I was looking for. It cost about $25 but it's worth it. Check out my YouTube channel to see what it can do: http://bit.ly/1uCqvdn
