I am doing video reviews and am recording entire games for them, so naturally my file sizes are enormous. Wasn't a huge fan of OBS for this, so I am trying out ShadowPlay.

Anyone have any advice on the easiest way to compress the video, and what file formats are best now? Best free software for this? I haven't done any of this since like 2012 when Movie Maker was still reigning supreme.

But yeah for storage sake, right now just using NVIDIA's built-in recording software and hoping to compress it, then edit later in Premiere.

Setup OBS properly with the NVENC encoder:
And here's how to set it up for local recordings, as well as use multiple audio tracks if you desire.

Surely edit then compress, keep the source as high quality as possible until the end.
