So, I would love to record every game I play everyday, and store all this gameplay videos so I can look up what I played on a certain day. Now would this even be feasible, or would this require an unrealistic amount of TB’s? Also how would I best approach this as in which programs to use, should I decode the video down, how can I do that without too much loss etc.

Thanks in advance for giving your ideas on how to tackle this idea!

    Honestly, if you want something that isn’t too much of a hassle and just does its thing automatically whenever you launch a game, maybe consider looking into Medal. Whenever you launch a game, it basically starts recording it automatically. When you switch, it switches too. It’s nifty and fulfills my purposes personally.

    As for storage usage, I’m online a lot (10-hour long sessions of VRChat or Minecraft at a time at least a couple times a week) and it’s used <6 TB over the past 3-4 years for me if I recall correctly. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Manageable amounts either way.

      I think I have seen some friends use this to capture gameplay, so maybe this is a good alternative as well! Thank you!
