## MSI Afterburner Guide ##
 
Completely uninstall old versions of MSI Afterburner
 
Restart computer
 
Download and install MSI Afterburner (latest stable version: 2.3.0 at the time of this guide)
 
Restart computer
 
Start both MSI Afterburner and MSI Afterburner On-Screen Display Server.
 
*(It is no longer necessary to start the server manually. MSI Afterburner automatically starts it when needed)
 
 
 
Open MSI Afterburner (the airplane without the pink numbers)
 
Go to settings*
 
On the “General” tab:
 
Start with Windows
 
Start minimized
 
 
 
On the “On-Screen Display” tab:
 
Uncheck “Show On-Screen Display on captured screenshots and videos”
 
 
 
On the "Video capture" tab:
 
Choose a video capture shortcut (e.g. F9)
 
Choose a video format - I recommend MJPG
 
Choose your quality - You can go to 90% without seeing much of a difference in quality
 
Choose frame size - you always want 16:9 (e.g. 360p, 480p, 720p, etc) if you're uploading to YouTube
 
Choose your FPS: 30 is recommended, though go higher if you want to do slow-motion edits
 
Leave Framerate limit disabled
 
Choose your videos folder - recording to a separate hard-drive is best for performance
 
Enable gamma correction
 
 
 
For game/system audio (and not your own voice):
 
Keep audio source #1 as "Auto select" and audio source #2 as "None"
 
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo: stereo rip
 
 
 
For game/system audio with your own live commentary:
 
Set audio source #1 as "WASAPI playback device": Auto select
 
Set audio source #2 as "WASAPI capture device": Auto select
 
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo: stereo rip
 
Mix multiple audio tracks
 
Steps 1 and 2 are equivalent to setting both sources to "auto select" without manually specifying WASAPI playback and capture device types
 
 
 
Minimize MSI Afterburner
 
 
 
Open MSI On-Screen Display Server (the airplane with the pink numbers)
 
Start with Windows: On
 
Show On-Screen Display: On
 
Show own statistics: On
 
*It is not 100% necessary to start the server with Windows. MSI afterburner will start it when necessary.
 
 
 
*If your settings window is too big for your screen:
 
Ctrl + tab to change tabs.
 
Temporarily reduce your desktop resolution
 
Alt + SPACE, M. Then use arrow keys to move window
 
Right click on the shortcut, choose properties. On the compatibility tab, check "Disable display scaling on High DPI settings"
 
 
 
If nothing seems to happen when you hit your record key:
 
Make sure both MSI Afterburner programs are showing up in your taskbar
 
Check the Active 3D Process in MSI Afterburner (the one without the pink airplane)
 
Add the detected program to the MSI Afterburner OSD Server - Set detection level to none
 
Restart both MSI Afterburner programs
 
 
 
To record minecraft:
 
Download Minecraft.jar from the Minecraft.net download page
 
Place the jar on your desktop (or any place you prefer)
 
Create a shortcut and make the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1000M -Xms512M -cp "C:\users\USERNAME\desktop\Minecraft.jar" net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
 
Open up MSI On Screen Display Server (airplane with pink numbers)
 
Add a profile for C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe  
 
Turn on "Show Own Statistics"

If your recorded video files don't open in Sony Vegas or any other video editor:
 
Try enabling "Enable MJPG decoder"
 
If that doesn't work, download the KLite Codec Pack (both 32 and 64 bit if you have a 64 bit system)
