Hey guys, I was just wondering if there is a non-laggy program that I can use to record some Minecraft gameplay. I was trying out OBS, but I am getting extremely choppy video with that. People say OBS is faster than Fraps, but I'm getting 35-90 fps while recording with Fraps and never over 20 fps with OBS. Just wondering if you could give me some suggestions that would make OBS faster and/or a better recording program.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Don't suggest Nvidia Shadowplay, because I don't have a Nvidia graphics card. I've already tried installing it.
lol okay. I wasn't sure but it was worth a shot. I'm trying to think of any others besides bandicam, but none come to mind. I feel like if OBS is running slow, just about any other screen recorder will run slow as well (Besides fraps apparently ) .
You can also try replaymod if you're not steaming. It'll capture your gameplay into a file (not a video) and then later you can render it into a video with cool stuff like 360 degree view or high resolution.
Hey there! I use for all my recording the free software OBS - I've seen it mentioned above, but just thought I'd give it a little shoutout again. If you need any advice on setting it up I've got a great post here with all the settings I use in my videos: https://rux.yt/the-best-free-game-recording-software-2015/
I really question why you would want to record at more than 30 FPS.
I don't at all. I would question why one would want to record more than 60fps though, unless he plans on editing it into slow-motion or something else exotic.
The main reason that I want a really high FPS is if I play some mods or something. I just don't want to record at like 15fps if I do something like that.

I can record Minecraft with OBS flawlessly. The quality is very nice, no graininess to it, and no choppiness. You just have to work with the settings for awhile until you get it perfect. In fact, it took me a few hours to get the audio feeds to the perfect volume. Had to change them slightly, record again, watch it, adjust again, watch, repeat. The biggest thing with OBS I have found that will cause choppiness, is if you set your quality to some value, but your buffer value is less than that. I record with about 25000 Bitrate, and if the Buffer Size is less than that, your will notice some choppiness and graininess to the video - but if I set them both to the same value, it works fine.
If conditions are right, I can even record with shaders without much of an FPS hit - but lately for whatever reason I lag like hell when recording while using shaders.

Have you tried Overwolf yet? It's free and pretty neat, but I can't remember if it was a light or heavy program.
Browsing for texture packs? Why not try some of mine?

Thanks purplepigjr, but it is a little too slow for my computer.
Thanks anyway!
Edit: I just realized I said thanks twice and it sounds really redundant. LOL.

Actually, I've tried Bandicam and a recorder called Loilo and they are both at least 3x as fast as OBS. I don't know why.
Thanks for the feedback!
Haven't used it for a while, but Bandicam worked well. Paid for it to remove the watermarking and any other restrictions.

Thanks guys! I got Bandicam, and for some reason it was slow before when I had it, but now I'm getting 120 FPS with it!
Got the full version.
Sweet! Glad you got it working.

Let me know how it works for you!

I know that the OP already found his answer, but for the record, Dxtory also works fine: http://exkode.com/home-en.html
I can usually get ~30 FPS while recording on an AMD Radeon 7570 at 720p.
