Title: Lag-Free Recording Program
Post by: Kitsune on November 30, 2010, 02:35:22 am
I'm looking for a program to record game play, but it needs to be one with minimal to no lag.

Gamecam, Fraps.

Usually lag depends on the FPS rate you're recording in. Try lower the FPS-rate!

Fraps is an absolute fail in terms of performance, but I'll give GameCam a shot.

Try lower the FPS in the settings/options of Fraps!

Regardless of what FPS I record at, it lags like shit.

Fraps will lag at any powerless CPU....

I've got a core 2 quad here.. and If I record a game where I get 120FPS while playing.. I'll get around 90FPS while recording..

if I get 90FPS while playing, then I'll get 60FPS while recording.. and goes like this.

Though it records fine in other modes, I can't get my ZD Soft to record things when I'm gaming in full screen. Tried multiple games and even reinstalling the program, but I just can't get working. It's not that it records rubbish, but more that it doesn't record at all.

You could also try wegame, I had some pretty good results, but I prefer fraps on my current system.

Wegame's good. But if you can't run that as well then you should really consider a new CPU.

Minus the frequent crashing and an inability to record sound (for a lack of "Stereo Mix" on my sound driver), WeGame actually works pretty good, or at least in the sense that it doesn't lag that much.

If you have Stereo Mix missing and you're using Windows 7, the fault is in faulty drivers.
Windows 7 likes to install drivers that work, but that are not necessarily the ones provided by the manufacturer. :razz:

Yes, I'm on Windows 7, but no, my audio driver wasn't installed by the OS. It's from my laptops manufacture.

I had the same, but after downloading the correct drivers from the manufacturer (in my case Realtek), the Stereo Mix appeared in my sound devices and I was able to use it.

The problem is that Sigmatel removed Stereo Mix support for my particular driver from Vista upwards. However, I managed to get an older XP driver working, so now WeGame seems to record audio fine.
