What programs are there out there that I can record in full 1080p without the game lagging and doesn't use lots of space ? I use FRAPS but that takes up a bucket load of memory and there is the in-game recording too but that is kinda useless when I want to record LCPD:FR.

Any ideas?

If you want to record full 1080p resolution gameplay you cannot expect it to take up small amounts of space.

If you want to record full 1080p resolution gameplay you cannot expect it to take up small amounts of space.

Guess so but with Fraps, a minute or 2 would cost me 3gb+ - Surely there has to be something better than that?

If you want the same quality you'll get the same file size. The next step is to use a converter to compress it.

I use "WeGame" -- Check out my channel (in my signature) and watch some of my LCPDFR videos and thats with using WeGame and editing in Windows Live Movie Maker.

Anyone tried Bandicam?

Bandicam is very similar to FRAPS, but is easier on your framerate. Check out my videos to see it.

Anyone tried Bandicam?

Yes, I really like it.

What type of file does it leave ( raw material) ?

Bandicam is pretty good, but it has a watermark, which i find annoying. WeGame doesnt have a watermark and is pretty good quality. check out my LCPDFR videos in the signature to see what its like with wegame :) and feel free to subscribe :)

Currently, like SIR_Sergeant, I'm also using the free version of Bandicam, simply because it is one of the best free video recording softwares to use that is not a limited-time trial. From there, I might pay for the full version or use another client such as the aforementioned WeGame, but that all depends on how much use you will have with recording videos of LCPDFR and any other games.
