4. Gecata – Movavi Game Recorder
This is a simple-to-use game recorder, created by Movavi. It is a lightweight program that allows you to record full screen or a window with no lag or glitches at 60 fps. This game capture software supports two-way sound capture – in-game sound effects, music, and dialogue, as well as microphone output. This lets you comment on the action as you go. Save audio streams as separate audio files in AAC format so you can easily edit out bloopers without messing with the video footage. Read more about this software!
(To be updated..)
Well, these are the most powerful game recorders that I’ve reviewed. I will come up with more programs at soonest time. Presently, I am trying two amazing free game recorders which may be listed in couple of weeks after the test is done.
Bottom line
If you are looking for a great game recorder, don’t hesitate to download one of the above suggestions. They are worth trying. However, if you need to record video from your monitor for something else such as making screencast, product demos or making tutorial, you can try ActivePresenter or Camtasia Studio. These programs will give you more advanced features in editing video. Don’t forget to follow us to receive more valuable post notifications in the future.
