How do I get Game Recorder to work with MPEG/h.264 codec?

Hello C3 community,

can you guys record your screen/game with the Game Recorder and MPEG/h.264 codec? If I open the Game Recorder example project and change the codec settings to "MPEG", the screen will not be recorded.

As long as I leave the codec settings on "auto" or "Webm" (auto is in my case Webm), the Game Recorder works fine ...

The point is, I want to edit the video further in After Effects. And guess what, After Effects can't import Webm files =(

I know I could convert the Webm file to mp4 with free online tools ... but the easiest way is to record direct in MPEG.

Hope someone finds a few seconds to answer, thx.

It's only supported if the browser supports encoding in that format.

You can check the supported encode formats in Construct's 'About' dialog, or using the Is audio/video format supported conditions in Game Recorder.

AFAIK, the only browser which supports h.264 encoding is Safari 14.1, which is not out yet (it should be out early next year).

Ah, hi Ashley,

thanks for the enlightenment.

What about the desktop version fo C3? Found some infos on this site. I downloaded the precompiled binaries "ffmpeg.dll" an put it in the NW.js directory of C3, but still no MPEG support.

The desktop build is basically the same as Chrome, and supports the same formats.
