Seriously has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

I've just started using the beta recently and I swear that the quality has gone down from what 1.16.3 had. Recording in 1080p AVI and black's look washed out, and smaller details look blurry. Is this just me, or has anyone else noticed this with the current version? Also I know that performance has ...

Is that the FPS you get in game, or the FPS that you lose while recording?

Ummm.... click the export button in Action? I mentioned this in my post above.

Click here first: Then choose settings and export:

The codec that Action! uses to encode into AVI, which is called FICV, is not compatible with most media players. FICV is definitely not compatible with Windows Movie Maker (which you should not use because it is terrible). For video to play right away you need to export the file first, so it is enco...

Ive uploaded a quick test of what my video looks like with the 720p (Main Profile) Preset, which you can find here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5vrvivp83GAYTRJQXdZc3hxUm8/edit?usp=sharing There is a difference in quality and I'm not sure why. It's either because of Nvidia CUDA, or because "Vid...

Well because your monitor is not 1920x1080 set the recording resolution is "Original", and CUDA can be turned off by going to Settings, Export Settings, and remove the tick on "Use hardware acceleration for video encoding". The only other thing that might be affecting quality is what has been set in...

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that unless you bought Action! with the serial key backup it's not possible to retrieve it. Other than that most of the Mirillis team were off for the Christmas period so try sending them another email.

Well you are reducing the bit-rate and resolution during export so naturally quality will go down from 1080p. Another possibility is because of your use of Nvidia CUDA, which is known to reduce quality a little, so try it out with this switched off. Also, could you post a screenshot of your recorded...

Jezz this is all completely over my head. Who knows why the program does this, I know that its unique in the way that it uses Aero to record. Something to do with this perhaps?
