Mirillis forum

Hello everyone,

I'm using the X-plane 11 flight simulator and I want to record my flights. I am currently testing Action! which gives me very good results: no artifacts or lags.

I'm not very good at codec and I would like to know which codec I should focus on: NVIDIA NVENC or NVIDIA NVENC HEVC?

I said that I write in mp4, 2560x1440 in 30 fps, quality: ultra, bitrate 12 Mbps, input range: 0-255 FULL.

Thank you in advance, best regards.

PS : I am a frenchie, sorry for my english (it's google translation)

We recommend using NVIDIA NVENC since HEVC codec in not standarized and some decoders may have problem decoding your recordings.

thank you so much

Hello !

I was recently trying to record X-Plane 11 with its internal sounds, mainly ATC, using Action! (a Mirillis company software).
This was part of preparing a YouTube video.

The problem was that X-Plane 11 was systematically freezing at the starting of Action!
NB : I have a NVIDIA graphic card.

I had a fructuous exchange with Mirillis support. The result was that, in order to achieve a nice recording of X-Plane 11 (video + sound), I needed to do the following:

Right click on desktop and select "NVIDIA Control Panel".
Go to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D settings.
Under "Global Settings" tab set the following:
- Antialiasing - Transparency -> 2x (supersampling),
- Threaded optimization -> On.
AND
- X-Plane 11 in Full Screen display
AND POSSIBLY
- Start Action!, then Stop Action!, then Start Action!

Best regards
