Hey all, my 10 year old (armed with CamStudio) has made his first video playing Minecraft on the Harry and Jerry server. Please check it out if only for a sec as him getting views, likes, comments would make his year! Thanks a bunch!

Decent video but you really need to fix the lag.

I suggest turning your settings waaaaay down and maybe even installing Optifine. From the way the video looked, I'd say that you had smooth lighting on (big lag maker) and render distance was pretty high (didnt see any fog). Turning both of those either way down or off should help with the lag.

Hope your next video has less lag

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to give that a try.

We did another one with the changed settings, might need to install Optifine after all lol

Hmmm, I really thought that would cut down on lag completely....

Well, also try turning all other video setting to either off or max FPS. Do some test recordings and see if any of this is working. Use F3 to check you FPS if you didn't know that already. Don't forget to close any application you have running in the background. That usually helps my minecraft go faster.

I've installed Optifine and it didnt really help that much, but it may work better for you. Hope the videos' FPS improve (Rhyme!)

Sweet! He sounds really fluid and not nervous or anything like that.. tell him Great Job!

Thanks for all the help guys, he's going to try and make a new one tomorrow using the Optifine Mod and with some new video settings. He really appreciated your comment too OverlookeDEnT. That meant a lot.

No Prob!
