kmjk333,
Thanks for the info on Bandicam. I hope that both companies work on making it easier to record with the PD14 video recorder inside Wars of Napoleon. I’ll have to look at Bandicam but am unlikely to purchase yet another recorder. Actually I now remember using the free bandicam and not liking it one bit because of watermark and ten minute limit.

I wish it was easier to use the Cyberlink Video Recorder from PowerDirector 14 with the Wars of Napoleon game from AGEOD Games that's distributed by Matrix Games. I found that I can't use the F9 or F10 keys to start, stop or pause my video recording when inside the program because the WoN game uses all function keys. I did find a workaround where I can start the recorder while in the initial program selection screen before actually going into the game.

I hope Cyberlink can do something on their end to give us more key selections for replacing the F9 or F10 keys. Since the game program uses all function keys for it's functions it would be great if we could use keys like Delete or End or Home or Insert rather than the extremely limited selection of F keys currently available to us.

Quote: If you are using the Powerdirector 14 Screen recorder, you can click on Settings (on bottom of start up window) and change the hot keys used in PD 14 Screen recorder.

I do not know if PD 14 screen recorder will record Game play. It has failed for me in some conditions. I seem to remember it closing when I started another program.

You may have to try other screen recorders. There are several available.

Carl312,

Thanks for the info on changing hotkeys but I did mention that Wars of Napoleon uses all the hotkeys listed for PD14. In fact the game uses all the Function keys. Have you checked to see the very limited number of choices there are for hotkeys? Only F9-F12. No other keys like End or Home that might be a useful alternative. I hope they add some other hotkeys as the ones listed aren't enough.

I did manage to get recorder to work inside WoN. While I can't start recording before entering the program I found that after it brings up the initial small startup screen I could turn on the recorder before then entering the main program. I do have to trim excess from the beginning and ending of recording clips inside of PD14 but that's easy.

I used PD 14's recorder in Cities Skylines and Cities XXL, neither game uses the function keys. The recorder does make nice 4K recordings which I want since I have a 4K monitor. I want to use an integrated set of software, not get some recorder from another vendor and have to worry about compatibility issues.

I've got Power Director 14 and find that I can't record inside the Wars of Napoleon game by AGEOD Games and distributed by Matrix Games. Unfortunately Wars of Napoleon uses the F9-F12 keys so there's no way to start the recording inside of the program because of the game's use of the hotkeys used by Power Director 14.

I have a new super fast and powerful computer with 32 GB of RAM, the latest i7-6700 chip running at 4 MHz, a Ge Force GTX 980 4GB video card and a Samsung 4K monitor.

I tried starting the recording outside of the program but Windows ends the recording as soon as the program starts loading. I'm running the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode with the run as administrator function turned on. It's an older game system that unfortunately hasn't been updated to run on Windows 10 smoothly.

Is there any way to use other keys for the Cyberlink Video Recorder as hotkeys? Are there any settings inside of Power Director 14 that might help get my recorder to work inside of the game? Are there any setting in the game's exe profile I can switch to get the recorder to work inside of the game?
