    Editing is poor and shadow play is too noticeably intensive

    NVTray provides some extra quality tweaks that both the default NVIDIA tray icon and control panel are lacking. I especially wanted to be able to select more Antialiasing modes, as well as OpenGL and Direct3D options right from the tray icon.

    Medal.tv supports whole session recording for also a while now. Only thing that I still keep missing from plays.tv is that old recordings are automaticly deleted if storage space ran out.
