Recording VR With One Full Screen (Not Recorded Lenses)

[GameWithGreg]

Hello Everyone, and i hope yall doing well.

I was curious as to how everyone is getting their recording so nice and in order.
I am using OpenVR for OBS, but it records the sim, which projects 2 lenses onto the screen when i alt tab into VR.

Then i use Steam Mirror and its just stutter city so i dont use that.
I have also tried using Window Capture and Game Capture but these also record the lenses.

Any other tips or ideas that you are all using?

Thank you.

Well it’s not convenient but if you’re willing to use a complex ffmpeg command-line invocation, you should be able to re-project one lens from the stereoscopic view into a flat view.

I’ve used a (more complex than you’d need) command to create 3D VR180 videos that can be viewed in YouTube, both in 3D in VR and in 2d on screen through the web site or mobile app:

Making YouTube VR180 captures with NVIDIA ShadowPlay, ffmpeg, and Valve Index

I recently picked up a Valve Index headset and am having some fun doing VFR flights. I’ve found that I can record the binocular stereo fisheye rendering using NVIDIA’s ShadowPlay capture tool, just like with regular 2d video, and that it’s possible to convert that to a format that YouTube accepts for VR180 playback, which works both in VR/3D and on flat 2D screens with a scrollable projection in the YouTube player. 4K recording attempting a landing at Long Beach (may still be processing at post…

You could cut down that command to take only one eye/lens view, and project that to a “flat” projection cropped to a limited field of view.

There’s probably a simpler way though.
