Recording
Record on an Older Hard Disk
Record on an older hard disk or a slow SSD without dropping frames: use a lower quality and check the disk speed before a session.
The short answer
Choose a quality the disk keeps up with, close other programs that write to the disk, and keep free space. A slow disk is a common cause of stutters.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Choose what to record: the whole show, one camera, or the screen. The choice is under Recordings.
- Press Record. The finished show and each camera are saved as their own files, written in pieces so a crash loses seconds.
- Press Mark at a moment you want to find again. The log keeps those marks next to the files.
- Press Stop. The session folder opens with the show, the cameras, your voice and the log.
What to know first
Recordings use your PC’s disk: a long 4K session needs a lot of free space, and Streamdzy stops a recording when the disk is nearly full. Check what your computer can do with the PC test.
Questions
Will a slow disk ruin a recording?
It can. Lower the quality or move recordings to a faster drive.
Want all of this in one app?
Streamdzy is a free streaming and recording app for Windows: several cameras, your phone as a camera, going live to many places at once, and recording first so a bad connection never costs you the show.
