Recording Video

[WiiDude83]

So what is generally the best video type to go with for both quality and size. And is there an equivalent to an MP4 file you can record in?

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) https://obsproject.com/

Not an outside software in the 3DS recording software itself. My OBS won't let me get high quality video out of it

Use Lagarith Lossless codec as a raw avi recording and then drag it to YUA.exe to encode the video to MP4. Make sure the quality is either HQ or IQ. MQ/LQ notably lowers the quality

So I downloaded the lossless codec. What exactly is YUA.exe because I can't find it

I'm always open to multiple ways of recording 3ds footage, thanks for the tip(s)/suggestions.

I've tried a bunch of video editing programs, and honestly, it really depends on how much time you want to invest in learning. Davinci Resolve is great and free, but it can be overwhelming if you're new to editing. I started with simpler software before moving on to more advanced ones.

If you're working with MPG files specifically, having a good converter is super useful. I’ve used this https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/mpg-converter.html a few times, and it makes it really easy to switch file formats without losing quality, definitely handy when dealing with different video sources.
