I have had a problem for some time now and I have had no success in discovering the problem
Right before the summer i started recording Minecraft. Back then it went smooth. I could record with 60FPS with no problem at all for hours. If I recorded at 30 FPS i usually had from 60 to 120 FPS.
But then, quite random actually it started to get problematic...
After almost 8 minutes of recording the FPS will go down, down down and then Minecraft would freeze up.
The funny thing is that it happen at almost 8 minutes every time. My recordings where like 7 min and 55 sec, 7 min and 40 sec, 7 min and 58 sec etc.
Yesterday I reinstalled WIndows and was hoping that the problem would be solved. But no.
Today I have been recording for 2 hours or so, but no clip mangaet to get longer than 4 minutes before the lag started. So it is even worse now.
I haven't changed anything in my computer for a while. I bought new graphicscard this summer but that were months before the lag started
I also bought a new and faster harddrive for recording, but that was weeks after the lag started.
The problem didn't start right after a driver update or a Minecraft update or a java update OR a FRAPS update, it just started totally random as far as I can see
And before you scream "It is just a Windows 8 issues, Windows 8 sucks" etc. etc.
I used Windows 8 for quite some time before the problem started, my "playmate" hav used Windows 8 for some weeks and he have no problem. And no, Windows 8 does not suck, it is wonderfull
I have both 32 bit and 64 bit java installed as recommended
But, I acutally think I solved the problem. When writing down my specs I had the idea that the problem might be caused by that the Harddrive which I record too also is the harddrive where the Mincraft.exe is.
I moved the Minecraft.exe to my SSD now and recordet perfectly for 7,5 min
I found the problem.
Crossfire!
So I guess some kind of AMD driver problem
Just disabled crossfire when playing Minecraft and recording works perfectly!

But, I acutally think I solved the problem. When writing down my specs I had the idea that the problem might be caused by that the Harddrive which I record too also is the harddrive where the Mincraft.exe is.
