Um..could I get some help..? I need help on how to get better fps and stuff in minecraft WHILE RECORDING cuz it's lagging like hell and its just ugh.. And be warned, I have a pretty bad computer..
Specs:
computer name: Samsung RV511-A04AU 15" display
Intel Core i3-380M 2.53GHz CPU
2GB RAM
320GB HDD
Intel HD Graphics Shared Memory
(hope that's all you need to know)
I run minecraft at around 30fps but recording drops to 25fps and yes, I am using optifine!! Please don't suggest that!!!!
Here is the F3 thingy it might help idk haha
Please help guys!! I really needa make this run faster so I can record better!!! Thank you even if you read this, means a lot
THANKS!!!! <3333
Assuming you are using fraps (which you didn't say), the only way to get a boost in your performance is:
a) Turn down MC settings (render/particle effects) Upgrade your computer
The reason your MC is running slowly is not your CPU - that's fast enough, nor your RAM - It could do with improving but it's okay. Your problem is that you have integrated graphics instead of a graphics card. It's FAR slower running a game off your motherboard's graphics than off a dedicated card. Either upgrade your computer or turn down your settings. Sorry, but those are the only options.

yea I'm using fraps haha and yea I have turned down my settings a LOT haha
When using fraps, make sure you defrag your harddisk. (Found in %windir%\system32\dfrgui.exe or in your start menu). It will basically put all fragmented pieces of information that belong together, together. Otherwise Fraps has to put one piece of the video here, search for another free piece (causing a load of lag), place a piece of video there, link the two, etc...
Many people often get a 10 fps boost after defragmenting. (For example, Vechs had huge lag until he did this).
Other than upgrading.. try using Optifine with minecraft for a fps boost. Open up your task manager and stop all the processes that aren't vital to windows or minecraft. Free up some ram, that might help. Give minecraft and fraps higher CPU priority. And yeah, like the other guy said, defrag!

That's about all I can think of,
okay yea done that, I'll try record and stuff tomorrow and see how it goes
thanks again for the help guys

This is a very common question. First few things you should know, NOT ALL COMPUTERS CAN RECORD. Just in general, no matter your specs, some computer can't record some games. It's a very hard task on a computer and therefore often not possible at over 5-25 frames without upgrades.
You honestly can't just 'get' better frames when recording like your question asks. If your computer can't handle it, it can't. When it comes to Minecraft optimization, Optifine is the best you can do, so keep that up. Other than that you need to know how to run Fraps.
A few things. Don't record in full screen if you're lagging. Most computers generally can't record in full screen as recording in your computers full resolution is a big task. If you want to record in full screen, or a large screen at that, try using Optifine to change your full screen resolution to something lower, then record at that. I tend to use Optifine with a lower resolution Full Screen and then set my fraps to record at half size and on Youtube it looks just fine. Lastly, and most importantly, make sure your videos are being saved to another hard drive.
If you have the videos being written to the same hard drive you record on, you're going to have a bad time. I personally use an external hard drive, hooked up through USB. It puts a lot less stress on your computer and therefore lets the game run much faster. I know there's ways to hook up laptops to desktops and have videos record onto those, but I'm not sure how so look that up if you want to do something like that. The guide I linked has this info more indepth, and many many other tips that should help you out. Have fun recording. Gimme a little + if you want.

thank you so much Tonix!!!! okay well I kind of do that fraps thing.. I have it installed on my 500gb hard drive but the movies themselves are being saved on my actually computer, so same thing just opposite basically. And thanks also for the guide, I'll check it out!!! Oh and I don't have any fragmentation (well 2%) so that's all okay now.
Thanks again Tonix

No problem. It's really nice to see that you appreciate it.
1. If your fine with replacing your computers HDD with a SSD and reinstalling Windows. You could try running Minecraft on a SSD.
2. If your laptops cpu is a quad-core, try setting chunk loading to "multi core"
3. Try setting advanced OpenGL to "fast" (my laptop also uses Intel HD Graphics, setting advanced OpenGL to "fast", boosts my FPS).
4. You could try updating your lwjgl (it's the graphics library that minecraft runs on, located in your bin folder) at least to 2.8.0, it can also boost FPS. make sure to update all .jar files in your bin folder (excluding minecraft) and all .dll files in the natives folder. link here

5. Try Updating your graphics driver
well first off huh? have no clue what you mean by the first one.. i have no clue if it's quad-core sorry.. okay I'll try number 3, thanks I'll also try that! haha lol no can't parents are gay and won't let me ._. thanks tho man!
well first off huh? have no clue what you mean by the first one..
i have no clue if it's quad-core sorry..
I mean replacing your HDD (Hard Drive) with a SSD (Solid State Drive), an SSD will make your computer run faster which might make minecraft's chunks load faster.
An easy way to tell how cores your CPU has is: Right click on the task bar, click on "start task manager", click the processes tab, right click any program, select "Set Affinity" and your should see something like this:
integrated graphics........ummm ya,....if you want higher frames then you should just stop recording, period. You can twek till yer hearts content but the bottom line is the "bottom line" If you wanna be a frap boy, then you best go get a new rig son. no one wants to watch low detail video's of you lagging about anyways.

Well, it can't. He needs more FPS, not less, capping his framerate would be counter-productive.

An easy way to tell how cores your CPU has is: Right click on the task bar, click on "start task manager", click the processes tab, right click any program, select "Set Affinity" and your should see something like this:
<All processors>
Cpu 0
Cpu 1
etc..
each of those "CPU #" is a core of your processor
