Download PlayClaw 5.0 build 3054

Sytexis software has released a new version of PlayClaw. With this program it is possible to take screenshots and record videos within games. By making optimal use of the possibilities of multicore processors, the program should be able to make these recordings without slowing down the game itself. PlayClaw can handle both OpenGL and DirectX, including version 11, and is only supported on Windows 7 and 8. A license costs 26 euros. In this release, the following changes have been made to the program:

Changes in version 5.0 build 3054:

• Added new file output format (container) – MKV (Matroska)
• Now all encoding and writing operations are performed in separate (32-bit) process. This will protect game process from possible encoder errors/crash and give more memory to pre-recording buffer (almost 4gb)
• Increased maximum possible pre-recording buffer size in settings
• Added H.264 compression option with help of Intel QuickSync. Now it is possible to use software compression (slow) on any PC and hardware acceleration (fast) on Intel CPUs starting from Intel Sandy Brigde. Available without watermarks only for Hardcore license
• Fixed fast compression crash bug
• Fixed Call of Duty: Ghosts crash
