I love recording LCPDFR gameplays, however, my videos are almost always laggy. I've tried FRAPS and I've also tried Bandicam, but they both lag. Does anyone know of some good FREE gaming recorders that won't lag? Thanks in advance.

Euh. Its your FPS ;)

What are your computer's specs?

There is no video recorder that won't lag.

Well, that's because the recorder uses up the resources on the system that otherwise could have been used for GTA. Turning down the graphics settings may help mitigate lag.

My suggestion would be to have multiple HDDs. One for recording on and one for your game, this will in no way solve your whole crappy FPS problem while recording but it will grant you a handful of frames but it all depends on your hardware and other limitations as well due to your current configuration. But I will insist that it is all due to your hardware limitations. A good idea might be to run your feed to another system for recording-then back to your monitors or tv; which is what I do, and that enables me to play my games without any restrictions from the recording equipment and I get beautiful 60+ FPS  uncompressed raw footage. If you end up taking that route, make sure your recording computer has the hard drive capacity and power (by power i mean writing/reading of the hard drive). I have 2 640GB WD 7200RPM hard drives in a raid 0 where the data is striped, so basically I get a bit better reading and writing speed but not a whole crap ton. When I'm recording, my recording computer is "red-lining" if you will, the HDDs are writing all the data that is coming in and my -cpu- quad core amd phenom x2 black edition OCd to 3.6 Ghz is probably my bottleneck. Anyways just providing some insight on my experience.Maybe you or someone else will get some ideas. 

Free and doesn't lag?! xD Impossible.

I use bandicam, recording on to a seperate HDD, my game runs at 60 fps, but I set the recording to lock at 30fps allowing for some resources to be saved, if your game normally runs less that 30fps upgrade before you record.

download a torrent they have a lot of free recording software it is illegal but still works lol...

Don't pirate software. Piracy is bad.

Yup, as a wise cp702 once said, "Careful the things you say, children will listen". I have found Mirillis Action! and it's pretty good so far. It isn't overly expensive and I've now go the money so when my trial is over I'll probably end up paying for it.

I hope that Action! works out for you, that's what I use.  Make sure you look in the settings and change the keys so you don't get conflicts with any mods.  You can also disable functions that you don't use thus freeing up more keys.

Get yourself Xsplit ( www.xsplit.com | Supports local recording as well as Streaming online ), and a fast HDD  that handles the huge files to be written at a fast pace :)  But to be honest, Fraps is decent if you have a good dedicated HDD.

Thanks for all the help. I have found Mirillis Action! and I plan on paying for that (because it's so good). Thanks again,

Why not DXTORY

It's the best IMO
