I'll do this the lazy way : http://www.funkypool.com/viewTopic.do?topicid=10686



Edit - what do you use sean_paul? You have some great clips and dont appear to be bothered by lag when recording.

Ah, ok, go on to the wallpaper bit of your page. Then right click, go onto properties, then go on the settings tab. On this bit you will find it says "color quality", turn it down to 16 bit. Then click on where it says advanced, then click on the troubleshoot tab, then where it says "hardware acceleration", turn it down to none. Then click apply for both of them (also, you may find when you click apply on the hardware acceleration, the screen goes black for a second or two, dont worry about it its meant to happen)

Any recording software will cause some lag, so a lot will have to do with the speed of your computer and your operating system.

Hypercam is very good but very heavy to run. If you find it lagging your system, you can try one of the lighter ones like bulent's screen recorder

Neither products cause me any lag. So if you have a high spec PC you shouldnt see any performance issues.

You'd need a good graphics card, plenty of RAM and a sizeable processor.

It's also worth mentioning the recording settings.

Make sure you're saving to raw .avi format.

Most of these programs will let you save to mpeg or divx format, but these compressed file types require a lot of power to convert "on the fly" while recording.
