How do i reduce lag when recording games? Graphic Cards Below.

HELP, i am trying on gaming and screen recording (I already had 5-7 Videos in Youtube) And a couple of them are laggy, I used ScreenCast-O-Matic First and it had less lagg than others, but it has less time than before (30 min. Now 15). I tried on Camtasia and EZVid which are more laggy, my Pc, rather be laptop, is not set on "Best Performance" Option but nothing laggs when i just play games without screen recording.

Display Adapter / Graphic Card :
- Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Monitors & Computer :
- ACPI x86 based PC
- Generic PnP Monitor
(32 Bit Operating System)
Processor :
- Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 900 @ 2.20GHz 2.19 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM) : 3GB

Graphics : 3.2 (Lowest)
Primary Hard Disk : 5.6 (Highest)

thank you, in advance, and should i update my Graphic Cards and Drivers?
(Not on Best Performance Option)

the graphics and processor are sub par for game recording, the hard drive is mechanical, you'll need a fast hard drive to record to which will minimise delay when recording, an onboard graphics card is not ideal, you would need something with a little more oomph, and processor is a general daily tasking processor like web surfing and light gaming, as GokAy has said, you'll also need a second hard drive to record footage, but if you're willing to check out other software, try Dxtory which has been known to cause little impact on performance while recording.

What graphics card do you have?
And your CPU can't handle the workload, I suggest buying a real gaming PC to record games.

Posted from own experience.

As everyone else has said, your setup is sub-par. I would also recommend you get a good software recorder, just as Dxtory.

5 year old laptop CPU with on-board video, that wasn't good when it was new.

Need a much better rig for the desired tasks.

If you need specific recommendations on a new rig, let us know.... and what the budget is....

You can record 720p videos with your setup, but the quality would be far from good.

1. Install Bandicam (or any other capture program that supports MPEG-1)
2. Set the resolution to 1280 x 720
3. Use the MPEG-1 codec and set the quality to 50
