Import your recording into an AviSynth script and try the following two conversions, one at a time:
  • ConvertToRGB(matrix="Rec601")
  • ConvertToRGB(matrix="Rec709")

If you are lucky, one of these will produce the correct output.
Thanks for your help !

I don't know if it's that, because the values for the red, the green and the blue are almost the good ones. The problem is more with the intermediate colors.

I already tried the "alias format" filter in VirtualDub. But I will still try your solution.

I don't know much about FRAPS.

It seems for NVidia GeForce Experience, you need a compatible card (GTX more likely).
I've recently acquired a GTX 1060 3GB is compatible and I've used it here and there to take some screens and videos.
It allows me to scale game screens up to 4K or so. But some times it doesn't do a good job as it does it in sections and then stitches them altogether.
I haven't spent much time tweaking that setting.

But setting NVidia Control Panel to allow for 4K DSR, and using GeForce Experience, you can get 4K screens without telling GeForce to upscale it.


Have you tried OBS? That's one I played with a few times for some games. It supports UtVideo.
Not sure of recent changes, but you can check them out on their github for all the updates.

If you wan to be bold, you can try out Afterburner / RTSS setup.
I hooked up one of my external HDD's to the USB 3.0 port to save the recording.
With AB/RTSS, I recorded a game that was DSR'ed to 4K and used MagicYUV (8bit/rgb). I was able to play the game and record without a performance hit.
File was pretty huge.
Here's the result of that on youtube. I also used a "Cheat Table" to slow the game down a lot for the recording. Absolutely the funnest game in my Steam library for first missions.

If you have a pair of ChromaDepth 3D glasses, I highly recommend you wear them while watching this.

Read the description on the video. I made sure to record my findings (concerning capture process,etc).
Didn't much pay attention to color timings.
Might re-install the game and do some captures with different codecs and settings to see if color changes.

EDIT: My PC is also a 12-thread CPU. It's an old XEON that was used and only does SSE 4.1.
The Mobo is super old, so if I want to upgrade to something that allows at least AVX extension, I need to change the mobo, too.
The GTX 1060 is also used. I wanted the GTX 1060 Ti since my friend doesn't game much at all on the PC, but she insisted on having the best parts.
Nice video ! I didn't play this DmC, but I played all the old ones. My prefered is definitely the first

I already tried lots of software for recording : Action, Bandicam, MSI Afterburner, even maybe OBS and some others...

But I suppose that I gave up with them because I hadn't good results.

I got the best results with Dxtory and the modern games and still Fraps with the old.

But the Nvidia Shadowplay looks great !

Gah.

So, I bought a new game and started playing it right away.
I enabled GeForce's "Experience" that replaced Ansel? I think that's how it worked.

Using "Alt+Z" to open GFE, I can record moments that happened. Settings let me go to 20 minutes for 1080p with 50Mbps bitrate.
It's still AVC, so maybe 10-20 is sufficient (intervals by 10), as you can't tweak any settings.

MediaInfo on the capture of the prologue video to Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is thus:

You can hit customize, but no real options. Defaults to Bt601, too. So maybe some issues with reds down the road.
I should compare against the actual video file for the game.

Looks like I need to install MSI AfterBurner again.
Or see what OBS has been up to lately.

MSI Afterburner can also do lossless audio.
