what kind of recording? game recording/desktop screen recording?
in order to get 1080p firstly you need your monitor resolution to be 1080p when you record in fullscreen if you're talking about game/screen recording.
also, this is very useful information on youtubes page:

Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Pro with SP2 (with codecs). It’s what I use.

Camtasia Studio 8 but doesn't appear to record in 1080p
you need to create your custom setting to record in 1080. I viewed this youtube video
and it was simple to follow.
