First session feedback and problem recording with MSI Afterburner

Just ran my first Roll20 session, reviving an old GURPS campaign. Overall I'm very pleased with how it worked; things moved quickly, options were easy to explain to players, and no big problems. I'm not at Mentor so I did have to do some head math to cover some of the combat stuff but not a big deal. I wanted to record the session with MSI Afterburner, but my session stopped recording after 8GB. I think I read about MSI AB stopping recording on an alt-tab, so maybe it was just me changing windows. Anyone have a recommendation for a screen-region defined video capture utility that isn't locked to a window like this? Thanks.

<a href="http://obsproject.com/index" rel="nofollow">http://obsproject.com/index</a> I use this for my videos and I taught my 12 yr old how to use it.

Thanks, will give it a shot. Edit: Looks good so far; need to tweak settings and do some long test records but I like the recording compression.

I like the fact that you can have it default to your harddrive or if you have the bandwidth twitch. I have yet to figure out how to get it working to livestreaming to youtube but when I have the time I will.

Necro I know, but I solved a problem I had with recording and thought it might be useful. The problem is how to record from a player perspective as the GM. This works in Win 7 and Chrome. Not sure about other browsers/Win 8. Prep: Create a second account on Roll20. Mine is "Cameraman Joe." Have Aero turned on. This allows you to window capture without having other windows come in over the top of your stream. Execute: Log into your campaign as yourself (GM account). Open an incognito window (not just a tab). Join the campaign using the player link in that window and log in as your dummy character. Do not click on any other windows once you have your dummy guy as the front window. Start OBS and set it to Window Capture. Set it to capture your browser, which will probably be named "Campaign"|Roll20 or somesuch. Check your preview stream. You should be looking at your dummy in the incognito window. If you clicked o your normal window before you did this, you'll be looking at your GM window instead. Stop the stream, reselect your dummy window, and restart to check. Once you're satisfied, stop previewing and start recording or streaming. Now you can bring your GM window to the front and work in that, but don't minimize or resize your dummy window or your stream will be affected. If you need to move the camera around for the stream, shift-click drag all your players or just move the dummy map around as you need to. Edit: Obviously it's better to just have a player do this if possible. Less bandwidth, and I don't like seeing "Cameraman Joe" in my player list. :P

Can you use the Google Hangouts option to record video? I know hangouts has a screen recording feature but maybe that's just Hangouts on Air.

Hangouts on Air transmits to Youtube, but I really don't like it because of the way Google+ accounts are linked to YT accounts with the same name. BTW I tested this on Twitch broadcast and it works just fine (second window).

In case it helps, you can set up aliases for youtube in Google+. They are called "Google+ Pages" (originally designed for company brand pages). In your Google+ account, you can create a Google+ Page with the same name as your youtube account (or any name you want), then link your youtube account with that page. There is no detectable link between the google+ Page and your Google+ account.
