Yegor said he’d review some of my games if I videoed them – he reckons it’s easier to go through compared to a text HH or a replayer. And he’s right! After recording a few sessions I went back over them and it was really easy to see what was happening, way more than the HEM replayer.
It was so easy to review them that I’m tempted to record games by default. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that while recording it makes Windows a bit glitchy occasionally. I’m already plagued with disconnect problems, so dunno if I want to add more crappiness to it.
I started out recording using the trial version of camtasia, and that was pretty good once I figured out how to set the frame rate & compression. At £200 for a license though it’s too expensive to buy (I’m not installing any warez – too much trouble with malware).
So then I tried UltraVNC screen recorder which is free, and it worked perfectly. Slightly more glitchy than camtasia, although I’d upped the framerate which was probably the cause. Here’s the result. I tried uploading it to YouTube and it came out really fuzzy which is a shame as the camtasia ones worked quite well, but I’m not bothered by that.
