How do I record desktop on Nvidia's ShadowPlay?

AuroraHD · Apr 20, 2014

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

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.

Enabling Aero: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1634102/enable-aero-theme-windows.html

(You're in Aero mode already if your Taskbar etc look semi-transparent like normal.)

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.

Just go into NVidia control and look for the adjust desktop size and position,
You will find scaling options choose full screen or make sure full screen is selected.
A lot of times it auto selects aspect ratio and it makes your video recording a portion of the screen size.
