Re: Screencapture Codec any advantage to normal Codec

Hi
When I've done screen capture I used x264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0.
This is 'lossless' settings for x264. And I use PCM or FLAC for the audio track.
Creates very big files.
The reason is so that the PC can capture in 'real-time'.
My PC would not be able to keep up if it was trying to capture and compress at the same time.
When the capture is finished, then I convert from lossless to compressed, in my own time.

Other people may use different methods, though.
