Recording Gp4

Hey guys, anyone knows why it lags so bad while trying to record gp4? The game runs no problem at 60fps but the moment I record it lags super bad.
I am using bandicam

Not an expert, but I think I'm on the right track:

The way screen capture programs work is they essentially make your PC process what is on screen twice; Once for the game, once for the recording.

Depending on your game settings and Bandicam settings, you can be asking a lot from your PC; running Bandicam at 60fps, with the game running at 60fps is asking your PC to run the game at 120fps.

I only ever record replays (the game might have to work harder when recording live) of GP4 - which I play at 30fps - but it generally comes out smooth:









In both of those I've got the graphics higher than I'd normally have them (even though I don't have shadows or reflections)

The Bandicam settings I use:

Video:
MPEG-4
Full Size, 30.00fps, 60q
Audio
AAC - Advanced Audio Coding
48.0KHz, stereo, 192kbps

Because you run the game at 60fps, you should still be able to record at 30fps.

Have you tried fraps?
free trial download

Been using free fraps (registered version's probably even more awesome) for my videos and have never experienced lags.

I normally set graphics manually and play with frame rate at between 26-30:

There's a full version of Fraps in my files (click my sig, you know you want to) and there's something in the FAQ I think on recording using DXTory (Ithink that's what it was).
