Thanks for the info, Das.  I had thought about doing something like this when Legends came out but I'm not too familiar with video capture.  Is it not possible to have the game full screen when doing this, then?

The instructions may look a little daunting in the OP, but really the process is nice and simple once you get going. I am so impressed with Bandicam - it really makes the process much easier and I haven't had any noticeable impact on my framerates.

It is possible to do the video full screen but just be aware that YouTube really is looking for a maximum height of 720 pixels. If your monitor is 1024 x 768 as an example then by all means, full screen capture would be fine. But if your monitor depth is much larger than 768 pixels then it would be best to capture from a window. The reason is that the fonts in DW are set to pixel sizes and are quite small. My monitor is 1920 x 1200 so by the time I take video capture and it gets reduced to 720 pixels high, the original fonts would be illegible.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation [:)]
