Rekaptr for Windows

Not available to download yet

The new Rekaptr is still being finished and there is no public installer today. Any older "Rekaptr" installer you may have seen is the previous beta, which is a different program, and we no longer link to it.

Questions, or want to hear when it is ready? Write to support@rekaptr.dev.

What it needs

Windows 10 (version 2004, build 19041) or later, or Windows 11, 64-bit.
A graphics card with a hardware video encoder. NVIDIA is the tested path; AMD and Intel are built in and still experimental. Without one, Rekaptr falls back to software encoding at up to 30 fps, which costs CPU.
A drive for the rolling buffer: an SSD or hard disk. Old USB flash sticks are not supported.

Known issues in 1.0

Over very long sessions the audio drifts later than the video by roughly 19 ms per hour (measured on a 7-hour recording). It is not noticeable in a normal session; a fix is planned.
165 and 240 fps are marked experimental: with a game that fully loads the GPU, our latest test on an RTX 4090 dropped about 2% of frames at 240 fps (an earlier run dropped more). 144 fps and below dropped well under 1%.
Laptops with both an integrated and a dedicated GPU have not been tested yet. AMD and Intel encoders are included but have not been verified on real hardware.
There is no in-app updater yet: to update, download the new installer and run it.
