I use this for my MMO recordings all the time. I love the overlay (FPS, timer, countdown, CPU/GPU stats, Teamspeak 3 who's talking, etc) feature which allows me to get an on screen timer w/ raids/timed bosses. Getting it up and running is a breeze, though setting up the overlays just the way I wanted them took some time. The MB/sec when recording is very customizable with the usual quality vs. hard drive conservation trade offs.Pros:Real time compression (though not very high compression)Easy to useNot resource intensiveVERY active with updatesOverlays that are visible during gameplay and/or in recordingCons:Some reports of crashes (haven't experienced them myself)Requires admin privilege (can get around that with Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit if you know what to do)Ventrilo overlay temporarily removed (dev said it will be back soon). Do you love America? Buy it!. To start off, I would like to say I'm very pleased with this software, as I find it a step up from Fraps for only a few extra dollars. The UI is strange at first as I kept on closing the window trying to go back in the menus as I'm a windows 7 user, how ever as I use the program, I then learn and are able to neavgate PlayClaw5 with ease.Next I love the fact that the software auto detects updates (via steam as I don't have the Non steam verson) and update without being propt. Always being up to date with the latest and greates has its perks.This software alows for users that are not tech savy to produce A grade projects with overlays being as easy as drag and drop and resized with a few simple clicks.As of a few updates ago, PlayClaw5 now has a streaming fuction built in which I have yet to use but will at somepoint. but looks pretty cool from what I've seen.Over all, I would requmend PlayClaw5 over Dxtory, Fraps, and Bandicam. I'm not 100% sure if I would rate this high then any of the Xplit products as I have yet to use them. If you want to see the video quailty of the finished product, stay tuned to my Youtube channel or watch any videos from 2015 onwards!. Currently am enjoying this recording software. I really love this game recording software! It's simple to set up and it's easy to use for me! I mostly use this recording software to record my gameplay for my YouTube channel! It's awesome and it has everything I want in a game recording software. I love it! I definitely recommend buying this software if you're interested in recording games. :)
