I'd encode H.264 using CRF mode, it was almost designed for this sort of encodings (screen capture), where you have no idea what the bitarte would be and where you just set quality, like CRF18 and just control peak bitrates for example setting vbv-buffer and vbv-maxrate to 10.000 ,peaks should not be higher than around 12.000 approximately. So it should look like the above image without the black borders.īut those websites you will upload your videos have embeded players, do you know what is their resolution?, it is mostly fixed, so you follow that resolution, otherwise content will be either stretched or most probably pillarboxed, so you will see black borders. For you it should fill your 1280x1024 screen with 1:1 pixel mapping.

So why doesn't it give a nice clean picture when you play it full screen with VLC? Make sure you have the following settings while running full screen: Video -> Zoom -> 1:1 Original, Video -> Aspect Ratio -> Default, Video -> Deinterlace -> Off. The color text has fuzzy colors (but sharp luma), as expected, because of the YUV 4:2:0 chroma subsampling used in Xvid. You'll have to click on the image a few times to get it to open in its own window with 1:1 mapping on your screen. Here's a screen cap of it playing on my 1920x1080 screen with 1:1 pixel mapping: No, his screen has a 5:4 AR (1280x1024), as does his cap, and the Xvid rendered file.Įarthling2000, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the Xvid file. if you are screen capturing, then your sw player's aspect ratio (AR) should be 4:3 or else it will stretch poorly with the wrong AR and distort or blurr as a result. Your issues seems to stem from your players resize with an incorrect aspect ratio setting. Because the website will also re-encode my videos.

I was thinking, if I render them with BBFlash Express Lossless coded, then whether uploading them to a video sharing website would make them blurry again. Although, I even tried recording with other lower screen resolutions. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

I have a 19 inches monitor, so my screen resolution is 1280x1024. If you record with one set of settings, and render with another set of settings, then the video quality would suffer. In terms of screen size and frame rate etc. All of them said one common thing that you must record and render with the same settings. I read a lot about rendering on the forums of those softwares. The picture and the text in the video became fuzzy. Then, as soon as I re-encoded the lossless file into an avi, using Format Factory, the same thing happened. But of course the file size was way too big. The only time it didn't happen, was when I recorded a few clips with BBFlash Express' Lossless coded. But as far as rendering the recorded videos is concerned, I get fuzzy picture and blurry and thick looking text in each render. All of them seem to do the recording job really well. I have tried ActivePresenter, BBFlash Express, Camstudio and Camtasia Studio. And I have been experimenting with different screen recording softwares. I am working on several projects for which I have to do lots of screen recordings.
