Trying to do screen recording of video games for youtube. And I'm getting stuttering videos and slowdowns.

So first I tried "Action!" recording software, it does not slow down any of my games, and I get zero lag while playing.. BUT, when I go to play back the videos are stuttery and speed up, and desync the audio etc..

So then I tried Fraps, and I get horrible ingame lag from it, and the videos end up frozen it spots etc..

THEN I tried Camtasia screen capture, and I ran into a problem where it won't record fullscreen games.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be great, what hardware do I need to upgrade to get fraps to run right? is there different software out there that someone can recommend?
Do I need a new GPU?
put HDD's into raid 0?

help!

Thanks!

So I think I decided the problem was the transfer speed to the HDD, I moved my video "dump file" to another HDD (Separate of the HDD that stores my games) and the first two recordings I've done were pretty smooth.

So I ordered a WD 10,000 rpm drive. Hopefully that will cure my woes.

I watch quite a few gamers on youtube (jacksepticeye etc...) and I feel like there is "some" software out there that is better then what I've found, just need some suggestions. :)


P.S. looking around the web, alot of people are saying that the HDD's are the bottleneck? my samsung drives are 7200 rpm, and the triple platter... I am reading/writing to the same hdd as the game..

I dunno, I'll do what it takes to make it run right.
