hi guys

i use movavi to capture streams but it has a fault. there is an occasional/infrequent stutter line, ie, a blip of a kind of thin horizontal line you see when video gets jarred and there's a thin stutter line

this happens especially when the source stream has quick/fast movement. i don't see this stutter if i happen to be watching so it's in the recording, not the stream

i have 1gb speed and i always capture late at night between 12a and 5a

so my question is is there a better capture program than movavi?

I don't know what the issue is, but what you're describing looks like tearing.
If that's the case, it might be related to something else other than the capture program.
Try using OBS Studio, which is free. I suggest trying to set up the recording to HuffYUV + PCM lossless and at the same framerate as your screen (I would imagine 60fps).
Then, check it still has the tearing issue or not. If it does, then it's not the capture software and it might be related to your GPU drivers.

i thought maybe there was a stream problem. when i watched the stream as i was capturing i saw no "tear". only the resultant capture. i also used movado to capture a movie vid i already had but that i had tweaked the color. so in this case it was not a stream. it still had those hiccup lines, so i think it's the program
