7 years ago According to UE4 documentation Plugins directory should be located at project root directory, not in Content folder.
This plugin requires additional libraries to be installed:
- Boost. Download the latest version and extract archive. Then create directory named
boostat/UE4 root/Engine/Source/ThirdPartyand create there fileboost.Build.cswith the following content:using UnrealBuildTool;
public class boost : ModuleRules { public boost(TargetInfo Target) { Type = ModuleType.External;
const string LibraryPath = "BOOST_ROOT";
PublicIncludePaths.Add(LibraryPath);
}}
where `BOOST_ROOT` is path to boost (it should have the form of `.../boost_1_xx_x`).
2. [VideoRecorder](https://github.com/ash3D/VideoRecorder).
- Clone repository (including submodule), open solution in Visual Studio 2015, select `Release` configuration and target platform (for example `x64`). Platform must match the platform of application being developed in UE4.
- ~~Add BOOST_ROOT to `VC++ Directories/IncludeDirectories` in property manager to `Microsoft.Cpp.PLATFORM.user` propery.~~ Boost no longer required for VideoRecorder library. But it still used by plugin itself.
- Download [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) SDK, add paths to header and library files to corresponding `VC++ Directories` (`IncludeDirectories` and `Library Directories`) in property manager in Visual Studio to the same property as boost in previous step.
- Build the solution.
- Create directory with name `VideoRecorder` at `/UE4 root/Engine/Source/ThirdParty`, create there file `VideoRecorder.Build.cs` with the following content:using UnrealBuildTool; using System.IO;
public class VideoRecorder : ModuleRules { public VideoRecorder(TargetInfo Target) { Type = ModuleType.External;
const string LibraryPath = "PATH_TO_VIDEO_RECORDER_REPO/VideoRecorder";
PublicIncludePaths.Add(Path.Combine(LibraryPath, "include"));
if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win64)
{
PublicLibraryPaths.Add(Path.Combine(LibraryPath, "lib", "x64", "Release"));
PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("VideoRecorder.lib");
}
}}
where `PATH_TO_VIDEO_RECORDER_REPO` is path to cloned repository.
Also do not forget to place FFmpeg dlls at appropriate location (for example along to application .exe this plugin is used with).
Note that this plugin has some DX11-specifiic performance optimizations so using it with other rendering APIs can result in poor performance.

I set VideoRecordGameViewportClient in UE4 project setting , but still can not record .
Is it because I don't use the plugin in a correct way ？

I do not really know what I'm doing wrong. And put the dll of ffmpeg in the folder system32 and installed the sdk in my visual as it was said above. These are my installed add-ons.
Could someone help me, telling me what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the inconvenience
You need to install VC++ 2015 toolset to be able to do this - check this box (you don't have to do this if you have VS 2015 installed):
Or alternatively build VideoRecorder with VS 2015.
But when I unzip the sdk I do not get the lib folder nor the include folder.
Maybe all these errors are due to the fact that I have not completed my FFMPEG sdk. Previously I managed to compile it, but it was because I downloaded the library from another repository 
Again, thank you very much and apologize for all this inconvenience.
It will directed you to 
Here you can download both SDK (Dev) for building and Shared to get dlls which are required at runtime.
(My operating system is windows 10 Pro 64 bit)
When compiling again in visual, I do not get errors. I only get a few alerts, but I think that these should not influence.
To be sure that I am doing everything right, I will show my configuration. Again, a thousand thanks for all the help, I would not have been able to get here without her.
Exact dll names can differ depending on FFmpeg version.

fail to find codec.I want to know what caused this error？Thank you!
I am facing problem on Plugin Installation.
First of all I had create a C++ project and create new folder named 'Plugins' in Content folder . Then I had extract 'UEVideoRecorder-master.zip' in 'Plugin' folder.
Then I had open C++ project in VC2015 (Run as Admin) and build the project,
Now I am getting below errors:
Error 1 :
Error : Couldn't find module rules file for module 'VideoRecorder'. (Line 1)
Error 2 : Error MSB3075 The command ""D:\Shared Pranav\UnrealEngine-4.14\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat" Video14Editor Win64 Development "C:\Users\Pranav\Documents\Unreal Projects\Video14\Video14.uproject" -waitmutex" exited with code 5.
