This tutorial deals with how you can make a video recording of your game-playing session, either for personal viewing, fordisplay on a website that you havecreated, or even for uploading to avideo sharing site likeYouTube. You will do so using a computer program called OBS, or Open Broadcaster Software, one of the manyfree screen recordingprograms around.
Obtaining and Installing OBS
- Go to the OBS website and download the OBS Studio for your system. There areversions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
- If you use Windows, doubleclick the installation program that you have downloaded (ie, click the mouse button twicein quick succession while its pointer is hovering over the program installer's icon). Mac OS X users should install theprogram the usual way. I don't have a Mac, so I can't help you there. And, of course, if you are a Linux user,you probably don't need me telling you how to install a program.
- Windows users may get a message from the setup program saying, 'Your system is missing runtime components thatOBS Studio requires'. If so, click the 'Yes' button in response to the message. The installer will open your web browserand send you to a page with links to those missing components. Click those links to download the software. Note thatif you run a 64-bit version of Windows, there will be two links, and you will have to download and install both thoseprograms. Installation of these is straightforward, since there are no choices to be made. It's just a matter of agreeingto the terms and conditions from Microsoft, and clicking 'Install'.Once you finish installing the Visual Studio runtime components, doubleclick the OBS Studio installer again. (It abortedthe previous attempt because it needed those components to be installed first.)
- If you use Windows, allow the OBS setup program to install to its default location and accept the componentsthat it selects by default. If you have a Realsense camera (whatever that is), and you want to be able to recordfrom them, you may have to put a tick in the 'Realsense Source' checkbox when the 'Choose Components' screenappears, otherwise you can just accept the default selection. When you are done, the installer willdeposit an icon labelled 'OBS Studio' on your desktop.
Starting OBS for the First Time
- Start up OBS Studio. The first time you do so, you may be asked whether you want to let the Auto-ConfigurationWizard configure the software for you. Click 'Yes'.
- The wizard will ask whether you want to optimize for streaming or recording. If you are just recording videos onyour computer, and then later uploading them to either your website or a video sharing site (like YouTube), choose'Optimize just for recording, I will not be streaming.' Note that this is what I chose for my own setup. (If youare not sure what streaming is, it probably means that you only want to record. In that case, choose to optimizefor recording.)
- In the Video Settings screen, you will be given a default setting for the 'Base (Canvas) Resolution'. This isset to the screen resolution of your monitor. You should probably leave this alone, unless the program got itwrong.Although the FPS field is set to 'Either 60 or 30, but prefer 60 when possible', I selected '30' from thedrop-down box for my system. Recording games is a very computing-intensive procedure, and if your computeris not fast enough, a higher frame rate will lead to problems (eg, the game and/or the recordingprogram may not be able to keep up, and may even crash). For the type of games that I play, 30 frames persecond is enough to give a smooth video recording. Your mileage will of course vary. You can leave it setat the default if you wish, since the wizard will try to figure out if your computer can cope with 60 fps.For those who are not sure what FPS (frames per second) means, it is the rate at which the scenes of a videoare shown. for example, an FPS of 30 means that 30 consecutive pictures are shown in one second. (Static picturesshown one after the other is how motion is mimicked on videos and films). You will probably have to be realisticabout this. Although you may want a high frame rate so that your videos will appear super-smooth, your computermay not be able to cope with the workload of processing your video recording at the same time as running a game.Games demand a lot of your computer's resources. So does video encoding. Running both at the same time successfullyrequires a sufficiently powerful computer, so if you don't have a state-of-the-art desktop computer (but just, say,a standard laptop), you may have to scale down your expectations.
- The wizard will then run a test to see what your system can actually handle, and display the results in the 'Final Results'screen. When you click 'Apply Settings', the program will change the configuration file to use these. Don't worry.You can modify these settings later if you want.
How to do a Video Recording of a Game
- After the Auto-Configuration Wizard runs, you will be deposited at the main program window (see picture).
- Click the 'Settings' button at the bottom right of the main OBS window. The Settings dialog box will appear. Clickthe 'Output' line on the left column of the dialog box. This causes all the settings pertaining to the output to appearon the right side.
- Check the 'Recording Path' field (see picture) and change it to a different location if you prefer yourvideo to be saved somewhere other than the default location.
- Another setting that you may want to change is the 'Encoder' field. By default, it probably says 'Software (x264)' or thelike. Click the drop down box for that field. If you have options that mention NVENC (eg 'Hardware (NVENC)') or Quicksyncor AMF / AMD VCE, it means that your graphics adapter has built-in hardware facilities that OBS can take advantage of.For those wondering what this mysterious 'encoding' is, as OBS records your video, it compresses it so that it doesn'toccupy quite so much space. This process of compression is known asvideo encoding. Encoding videonormally takes up a lot of your computer's resources, so some desktop graphics adapters provide specialized hardware to doit. The hardware takes over the workload that would otherwise by done by your computer's main processor.If you have a normal (non-gaming) laptop, your graphics adapter is unlikely to have hardware encoding capabilities.As for desktop users, you may have to make sure your graphics card's drivers are up-to-date, otherwise OBS may notsucceed in using the hardware facilities.For the sake of completeness, I should probably mention that while the advantage of using hardware encoding is thereduced strain on your computer's resources, the disadvantage is that the video quality of the hardware encodingis supposedly lower than that of the software encoder, all other things being equal. But look at it this way. Onweaker machines, the use of a hardware encoding may actually allow you to capture your games at a smooth frame rate,which you may otherwise not be able to.
- Click the 'Audio' line in the left column and check the settings there. If you are not using a microphone, you maywant to make sure that the 'Mic' fields are set to Disabled, leaving only the 'Desktop Audio Device' set to Default.On my system, leaving the 'Mic' field set to Default without a microphone actually connected to its portcaused the audio in the output to be muffled.
- You may also wish to click the 'Video' line in the left column and check the settings that the Auto-Configuration Wizardcreated for you. You can change the resolution of your video by adjusting the 'Output (Scaled) Resolution' field, andthe frames per second from the FPS field ('Common FPS Values').
- Start up your game. Do not close the OBS window; just leave it open while you start your game.
- Wait for it to fully load then switch back to OBS.
- Click the '+' sign in the 'Sources' box at the bottom of the OBS window (see picture).
- A menu will pop up. Click the 'Game Capture' line.
- A dialog box with the title 'Create/Select Source' will appear. Enter the name of your game (or whatever you want) in the'Create new' field and click 'OK'. This is a descriptive field, for your own information only, so it doesn't matter whatyou enter.
- A new dialog box will appear. Click the drop-down box for 'Mode'. If your game runs fullscreen, select'Capture any fullscreen application'. If it runs in a window, click 'Capture specific window' to select it.If you select 'Capture specific window', a new field called Window will appear. Click the drop-down box forthat field and select the window containing your game. Click the 'OK' button.
- Your game should appear in the main window of OBS. If it doesn't, switch to your game's screen, wait a bit,then switch back to OBS. It should show up.If you still see a black screen in the main window of OBS, and you are recording on a laptop, it may bebecause it has two graphics adapters. A number of modern laptops do this to prolong battery life. Theyprovide a weaker integrated chip that the laptop uses when running normal programs, and switch to themore powerful (and power-hungry) discreet one when you run things like games. This leads to the situationwhere OBS is assigned the integrated adapter, while your game the other one. Since it's usinga different adapter from your game, it cannot see what your game is drawing on the screen.To solve this, please see theOBSforum's solution.
- Click the 'Start Recording' button, switch back to your game and play it. When you want to stop recording, return tothe OBS window and click the 'Stop Recording' button. That's it. The video file for your game can be found in thelocation you set earlier in the Recording Path.
Checking Your Video
If you want to view your video recording, you can use one of the manyfree media playersaround. Most, if not all, of them can play FLV and MP4 files (among other things) out-of-the-box.
Where to Go From Here
Here are some options of what to do next. Of course, everything depends on what you intended to do when you recordedyour game.

Launch Unfortunate Spacemen with Boot Camp
Space Alone (strange Gaming Studio) Mac Os X
Boot Camp gives you an opportunity to launch Unfortunate Spacemen on your Mac OS natively. All you need is to launch Boot Camp and install Windows with the help of this application. Then you can simply launch Windows and then run any game you need. However, this solution is not so fast, as Parallels, as Boot Camp requires a great amount of hard disk resources to work. So you need a very fast hard drive. Moreover, when you are done with the game and you need to return to Mac OS, you will have to reboot your device. So you should be ready to some performance issue while playing. If you are still not sure, we have one more solution for you!
Play with GeForce Now
GeForce Now is one of the best solutions to play Unfortunate Spacemen on Mac OS. All you need is to purchase the subscription and already made gaming library. Technically, you rent a very powerful computer, which streams the gameplay right for you. Don’t be afraid of stutters and freezes – the hardware of these computers will perform any game with ultra settings. However, you need good internet speed to enjoy the gameplay. Still, if this solution doesn’t respond to your needs, try the next one!
FINAL WORDS: however, there are not all possible solutions to play Unfortunate Spacemen on your favorite platform, but they are the best ones. GeForce Now can give you the best experience, but it requires a fast internet connection. Boot Camp is also OK, but it requires a lot of free disk space and its performance can vary. Parallels can be the best choice too, but it also depends on Mac’s hardware.
