Game Recorders lag down Game...!

Post by Metal »

Hi, I've downloaded Camtasia Studio and Fraps, and Super Screen Recorder, also, when I try to play the game, there's no lag, ( I want to record Need For Speed Most Wanted), and When I press the hotkey for recording, the car hardly moves, it lags a lot! Can someone pls help!

Game recorders use a ton of memory and put a load on your hard drive when they write the files.

If you don't have a high end computer, it's going to be that way.

The rig Reagent X uses for recording is a monster, if I remember right.

That's the way they work.

Fraps records uncompressed video (notice big the file size is). Don't know about the two others. Try out Game Cam it records compressed video. Not so good in quality but smaller file size and much less lag... I have tried it and could play at the same time. Yes it lags too but not that much.
