I need to set it up when I’m back at my PC, and just let it eat, I’m down to give it like 500gb and see how much it keeps
You select a time period in minutes as input. It’ll spit out how much storage it’ll take up based on that + the selected quality (bitrate). I have selected 240 minutes and 24mb/s (highest available bitrate at this time), and the estimate it gave me was 40-45 ish gigs.
Edit: based on the OP screenshot, 60 min at 24mbs takes up 10.8gb:
60/10.8*500/60 ≈ 46.3 hours, nearly 2 days @ 500gb max storage.
Yeah, it works well and haven’t noticed any type of performance impact.
how much space did it take up?
Depends on what you configure it to. You can select the recording bitrate, and the amount of time it records for in minutes. I have selected 24mb/s (highest available currently) for 240 mins, and it says it’ll take up a maximum of roughly 40-45 gigs.
that’s not so bad
If you leave it set to the settings in the screenshot, the max it’ll take up is 10.8GB
Yeah, seems to work pretty well on my Steam Deck. It’s probably using more power, but it’s a small enough increase that I couldn’t confirm increased power draw without exporting mangohud values and averaging them.
I dropped the recorded length to 30min (mainly just want time to grab a noteworthy clip if something funny happens).
I measured using Iconoclasts (low power game) and using default settings it took about 1.4W. Pretty minimal drain honestly.
I use NVIDIA shadowplay for that.
On the steam deck? =P
This isn’t the steam deck community and the feature isn’t exclusive to steam decks
I know. I was just making a joke about how he pulled a “bean soup”
It seems lacking in features on Linux. I figured out how to record (always on in background), but the other tools either don’t seem to work or aren’t documented. e.g. reviewing clips, any sort of interface, the shortcut keys didn’t work for me, etc.
Yes. It’s very convenient.
But it needs more config options.
You can’t set a recording resolution, it seems to max out at 1080p. On my 3440x1440p ultrawide I get 1920x804 as it fits the ultrawide aspect ratio into the horizontal resolution of 1080p.
It only uses h264, new cards support AV1 so would be nice to actually use that.
