PlayClaw 5 - Game Recording and Streaming - CyberDemon
We worked hard to prepare this major update. Or, may be, almost new software - PlayClaw 6. We've changed the core of our software a bit. Overlays are the very important thing, other features are just useful "addons". Here is how PlayClaw 6 looks after the first start.
Overlay editor with realtime preview and dashboard to fast access common overlays properties.
You can add up to 255 overlays using right mouse button click on preview or dashboard.
Set of overlays
PlayClaw 6 supports interactive mode with overlays (if overlay can do it). Double click on overlay opens a "door".
Interactive with browser overlay
Overlays have a set of common settings. Some of them are new for PlayClaw.
Render layer to draw specific overlay over or under others Visibility mode for every overlay
PlayClaw 6 supports Scenes management. You can prepare scene for every your game or streaming mode and just switch them in one-two clicks.
Scenes management
We've optimized our capture and encoding engine and version 6 does its job 2x faster than version 5. FPS drop during capture is very low, really. This beta has limited set of available overlays. This beta can have bugs :) This beta is free for all PlayClaw 5 steam owners. We plan to make paid upgrade to v6, but it will cost only a few USD.
To install this beta you need to open software properties in Steam client and select "version-6" beta in Betas tab. Steam will start download after closing properties window.

PlayClaw 5 - Game Recording and Streaming - CyberDemon
This new version #3700 gives updated plugins for the new Teamspeak 3 client and additional changes.
New plugins for Teamspeak 3 client with API 21
VFW speed of encoding is increased
Corrected pure encoder performance test
Added ability to write separate webcam file if webcam overlay is not visible (but it must not be disabled)
Fixed wrong separate webcam file writing when webcam overlay is turned off
Fixed error capturing audio on some systems with Realtek audio hardware when driver reports bad configuration
Here is an additional information about how to setup teamspeak plugins. We know three possible plugins locations where TS3 client can find its plugins. Unfortunately, we don't know which are more important.
Old style - plugins subfolder in main TS3 client folder
New style - %APPDATA%\TS3Client\plugins folder (by default it is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\TS3Client\plugins, where username is your windows login name)
Additional way - config\plugins subfolder in main TS3 client folder
Copy both plugins into one of these folders (or better into all these folders), then run Teamspeak 3 and check add-ons settings. You can find plugins in tools subfolder of main PlayClaw folder.
